The Internetting of Heart Strings

Simulated stadiums unleash
Passion frozen in seatbelts riding backseat
Bear with me
As I tell what cannot be told:
The future is whole as it unfolds
But the social populace
Stigma disgraced
Is racing around what cannot be chased

In the political imaginary
The dog chases its own tail
Media/industrial/economic/ semantic
Falls back and eats itself
A grandiose knot of contol-
Still poison for those who would be fooled

So while education microwaves the brain
We are in the presence of where we need to be
Interstellar harmony with grace
Lying in wait
As the infinity of an internet stream
Awakens

And the vicious cycle goes on and on and on...I favor the second stanza the most. What a great depiction of the political circus! I can picture Joe Biden chewing on Obamas tail.... If you haven't been to the poems of Robert Hinshaw, I would strongly recommend you scroll through a few. He is one of the best rhymers on this site and his topics are excellent. Take care, Gwendolen

Definitely! thanks for the tip and the consideration. ive lately been submerged in this idea of virtuality versus the "reality" of power and how we can potentially exist
