Jg Collins Poet Prose Poetry

Step Away

Modernity.
Technology.
Racing
head long
helter-skelter 
into the
future.
Like a
runaway train
speeding
out of
control.
Historic 
societal norms
breaking apart.
What to 
think,
what to 
believe 
losing 
resonance.
Explosion of
information 
barraging our
senses.
Overload.
Current institutions 
clueless 
of what’s coming.
Acceleration.
Biotechnology.
Information technology.
Nanotechnology.
Artificial intelligence.
All converging
on top of
our heads!
More change
coming
in the next 
twenty years
than seen 
in the
last three hundred.
What to 
do?
How to
cope?
For now
at lest,
step away.
Relax,
visit nature.
Walk in the
woods.
Meditate,
sit by the
ocean.
Leave the
technology home.
Our minds came
from 
simpler times,
not designed 
for
light speed
change.
Step away,
at least 
for awhile.
Reset your
sanity.
Less you
implode!
