Notes About The Poem

In A World Where I Do Not Exist Poetry Contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

In A World Where I Do Not Exist

In the world, where I do not exist is the world
without love and creative minds for people in it
have no emotion or natural intelligence for they
act like robots for everything is done for them.

They do not smile; they wave a hand to say, hi!
They do not laugh that those sounds of a belly
laugh, when your stomach hurts, is non-existent.
They do not speak words of love that give butterflies.

They do not think for everything is programmed.
All they must do is choose and push the buttons
pertaining to the work or activities they need to do
in the world of automation or advanced technology.

Creative minds with creative thinking applied in
various careers or arts are considered nothingness.
They use artificial intelligence using machines,
sensors, electric cars in their real world …

A world so monotonous, repetitive, tedious, dull.
A world lacking in excitement, lacking authenticity, 
so boring for people with creative minds, such as
artists, musicians, poets, like me is not in it ...
