Utopia

Utopia

A Poem by John Prophet

Utopia.
Circles
us all.
Constructed
in plain
sight.
Inserting
minds.
Plugging
in.
Willingly
plugging
in.
Gotcha.
At that
point
gotcha.
Globally
connected.
Global
control.
Seduced.
Gladfully
seduced.
Utopia!
No escape.
Paradise
found.
Once in
no escape.
Why escape?
Mind warping
force.
Mind sucking
control.
Easily
influenced,
seduced.
Controlling
thoughts
injected.
Original
thoughts
snuffed out.
Controllers
reign
in place.
Living
in the
cloud.
Anything’s
possible.
Peaceful,
beautiful,
powerful
place.
No worries.
Free will
outlawed.
Not required.
Not needed
in Utopia.
Force fed
Utopia.
