UNTITLED
"It turns out you can kill the earth,
Crack it open like an egg."
Expose the yolk of the mental chains
Conditioned to be like-minded.
The earth has lost its creativity
To AI
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial simulation, artificial stimulation brain functioning…
Chip it
To control it
Technical humans
Conditioned to be like-minded.
"It turns out you can kill the earth,
Crack it open like an egg."
Destroy the natural process of growth
Life halted, altered.
Consumed to be a necessary ingredient
Often imitated
In different forms, a façade
Appearing to be the same but different in many ways
Poison of lies being feed
Resonating in thoughts
Of questioning the truth…
Conditioned to be like-minded.
"It turns out you can kill the earth,
Crack it open like an egg."
It becomes a world of empty vessels
Unable to think logically as individuals.
Insanity
Of doing things the same, expecting different results
Controlled cycle
Wash, rinse, repeat…defeat.
The earth was killed
When people preferred watching, instead of reading
The lack of knowledge
Conditioned them to be liked-minded.
Excerpt, "It turns out you can kill the earth, Crack it open like an egg", was taken from the poem "Who Will Tell Them?", written by Michael Simms.
I wanted to share my first creative writing exercise. In my creative writing class, we had take an excerpt from someone else's poem and use it in our own poem or short story. I must say, this took some time to write because I was not using my own words. I really had to sit and think about this when normally the words come so naturally to me. But, this was a great start to get me thinking outside of the box.
