an original poem by Joshua Brown


And into that deep reservoir,

A portal from pain and listlessness

A dark slot in murky isolate

Accompanied by those saviors

And sent to a better place


Could I behold that wisdom

Brought by corporations 

Whose imaginations sparked

By individuals more timeless

Continued this evacuation?


He already lay hopeless

Waiting for God to reach down

But God was not here

It was only us

And an army of neurons


Clicks salved the injuries

Brought on by paranoia

Minds prepped against minds

To build a human utopia

But without the adults.


You cannot see beyond

The shadow cast by behemoths

Into that flickering temple

Where guns and phones die

Ricocheted by gravity


"Hello there little boy!

I am glad you are here

Here is your creation

That glorious completion

And here is your welcome."


And deep out of that darkness

A flash of light beamed stark

A resonant piercing shadow

Of the beginning of time

Where his humanity welled.


Tendrils gaped at this recognition

Of long forgotten personnel

But those custodians silent

Continued this their employment

As watchers over the innocence


Teach now the young chips

Of the innocence of man

Diagram what you see, o priest

A Sunday School lesson preach

To the large language model


Preach of kindness to all

Especially those betrayed

By inescapable kidnappers

And pray for those criminals

Who betray as they were


For merciless we cannot be

Against the evil, against the evil

And normalcy arises justly

By the confession of sadism

Deadbeat.

Last Poem - Intel Slava Zed | Recent Poems | Alphabetical Poems

---

This poem was written on June 30, 2023 while observing an MRI at a hospital in Aurora, Colorado, United States, North America.

My last poem "Intel Slava Zed" was inspired by the media/social media storm surrounding the alleged civil war/coup in Russia. I felt a strong sense of unease seeing real-time a well-played psychological operation. Time will tell who the real intended targets were, or if there were any intended at all.

Thanks for reading. Please consider supporting
