Echoes of the Vedic prophecies

 

upon a weary dreamscape 

 

Mankind buried 

 

in a materialistic waste land 

 

tilting the world into a playground

 

of the greedy

 

who ignore the needy 

 

chasing the "God particle"

 

with an anti - what matter's attitude 

 

a nano-mentality 

 

a proiri  lost     

 

Homosapien smugness

 

reaching critical mass

 

monetized and homogenized

 

nature be damned

 

in the name of the almighty   -

 

CONTROL

i seen a movie one time (ok: two times, coz it was good) and it was called "Instinct".
It's central theme was this.
i am biased, and when it comes to anything that shines a light on these matters, i tend to favour them. so, what can i say, except: thanks for sharing, Robin. i am heart glad to find stuff like this still in minds of other people.
may many more come and visit this piece!

The word ignorant is over used if you were to compare as a ratio to the few people who honestly understand this word. In a view of society and the branching off of it..... This is ignorance...... That may sound a tad ignorant lol....... But this above truly and calmly makes a severe point at depth....

Your views are valid and I suppose the outcomes you speak of were inevitable from the moment men were given free will. It's been said that: “Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed” (Bhagavad Gita.) These are elements of control that can be found within the planning rooms of many mens hearts you speak of. Control in the hands of the wrong people is a dangerous and deadly thing as history has clearly shown in many aspects of life. Your poem is an important statement that reflects the quality of your inner thoughts and the power of your skill with a pen. Nice writing.

Very powerful write indeed.

anti- what matters attitude...that's brilliant. a call to enlightenment in express form...maybe if you attach a 'Everything 75% Off' sign to your wisdom, some homo sapien will deem to buy it

Superb word choice. Educated insights. Though provoking and world changing to the receptive. A sensitive caring write. Thankyou. Happy New Year Robin, may 2012 bring you blessings beyond your wildest dreams.

the raw and the mystic collide and dance on the hairpin turn of of the sapien future within the exceptional structures of your poetic trellis~

I see it, and I am finally realizing I have to recognize it; turning a blind eye is cowardly & we all need to take the stand.
