Teetering

Teetering.
Humanity
on the
edge.
Pace has
quickened.
Accelerating
change,
overwhelms.
Inundating
the senses.
Power
surges,
crisscrossing
the globe.
Generations
apart like
never
before.
Fractures,
tears
in the
mosaic.
Old ways,
old thinking
fading
away.
Global
presence.
Global
morphing,
unified
thought.
Differences
homogenized.
Independence
discouraged.
Nails
hammered.
Utopia.
Dystopia.
Eyes
of the
beholder.
Humanity
teetering.
Teetering
on the
edge.
The
edge
of never
the
same.

Hello, John! :)
This is an ominous write. We are comforted by familiar things. I think its beautiful that we can trade, and share our thoughts and feelings globally. We can meet in the middle without sending soldiers or missionaries. We can pervade instead of invade. Haha... Our children will carry on.
I worry about overpopulation.

Thank you kindly for reading my work.
Having been around the block a few time I guess I’m just less sanguine about human nature. The lust for power and control can be witnessed throughout history. Now, through technology and global connections the unscrupulous (always have been always will be) have access to unprecedented power and control.
