Subjugation

Subjugation

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Subjugation.
Power.
Brutal
gripping 
power.
Down the
millennium 
flow.
Grab it.
Control it.
Use it.
Power
intoxication.
Drug like.
The few
controlling 
the many.
Iron fist
domination.
Always
those 
who’ll
wield it.
Simple
warlords.
National 
leaders.
Unscrupulous 
lusting
for control,
power.
Pushing
the envelope.
Modernity 
the same.
But!
New 
awesome
tools have
arrived.
Global
neural net.
Surrounding.
A.I. 
arrival.
Manipulation.
Population
control.
Caution
required.
The future’s
unclear.
Look up!
Eyes open
for what’s
to come.

This one made me think of an article about Mr. Trump that I read yesterday. it seems he and his cohorts are working to develop ways he can gain personal control of the government should he be elected in '24. I'm not in the market for cyanide pills yet, but the article was unsettling.

The future sure looks grim. Power corrupts and what with AÍ as well, what a concoction. I fear for democracy. We will all be controlled.
