Waltz

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Sep 24, 2018

Waltz of
humanity.
Spinning.
Spinning 
out of the
goo. Landing 
on our feet.
Look around
then organize.
Organize to
survive. 
Organization 
requires 
hierarchy.
Hierarchy 
requires power,
power to
control.
Humanity 
controlling 
humanity.
Structures
with controls.
Some telling 
others what
to do.
Power to
control.
The few 
controlling 
the many.
Always, controllers 
controlling.
Doing, saying
whatever it takes
to control.
Kneel and bow
do as you’re 
told. 
Flaw, control 
going viral 
planet wide
technology enhanced.
Subjugate whole
with control.
Sad times ahead.
