Soul Wars

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jul 25, 2024 

Soul wars.
Deluged.
Overwhelmed.
Swamped.
Mind
control.
Sensory
overload.
Sapiens
cognition,
designed
for the
wild.
Survival
of the
fittest.
Life
in the
jungle.
No more.
Fried,
burnt
out.
Inadequate
for modernity.
Easily
led astray.
Nefarious
actors
pushing
buttons.
Pulling
levers.
Pulling
strings.
Cloud
control.
Raining
on all.
What to
believe?
Who to
believe?
War,
attack
from
above.
Grey
terrain
battlefield.
Information
surging
to and fro.
Propaganda,
digital
armies
left to
right.
Global.
War, for
humanities
soul.
