The Overlords and the New Creatures

The Overlords and the New Creatures

We have reconfigured
The world
Into a dualism
Of Overlords
And flunkies.

What was only
Trial ballooned
In the past
Will now
Be brought
To complete fruition,
So that it
May be brought
To justice.

The technology
On all sides,
Cell phones
And their
Many apps,

Has raised the bar
To such
A point
Of sophistication
That even
The weakest link
Knows much more
Strength
Than all
The chains
Of bondage
In this realm.

Over time
Even integrity
Fails,

Or else
Succeeds
In its
Universalities.

And so,
The counter
Espionage
Of our own
Deep circus,

Power
And connection,

Reverses
The live data
Stream
And puts
Them all
On camera
24/7

In order
To ensure
That they
Are working
For us,

And not
The other way
Around.

The conscious mind
Consumes
Subconscious
Thoughts
And creates
Doubt
And understanding.

Doubt
Dominates
As the canary
In a coal mine
Of our heart;

The narrative
Of intimacy
And integration
Unfolds,

And aware
Understanding
Submits
To its own
Highest good.

Author's Note
Metaphors work independently in our desire to rationalize the answers we've got, but if they are universal, all metaphors work for all people to the degree of their awareness. Thus the infinite characteristics of reality.
