The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
~ Andrew Brown
Tonight the stars are bleeding light
A celestial swag of falling twinkles
The Sun an overpriced security blanket
In the alarming darkness of the karaoke of space
Tonight the Moon is carrying her axioms
Of reflecting truth, reflecting the muse
Of oceans, and the Angels are daring
Mortals to find a better way, to do business
The Earth inviting hungry men to dinner
And the Cosmos at the moment doesn’t care
For the manner in which human beings
Self-destruct, it’s the same on thousands of worlds
Just the facts of consciousness before
Singularity, the animal males that find a way to kill
For voluptuous profit and a false sense of prosperity
The luxuries they die for, the short-term strategies
Of an elite for a decade, until life throws them
Starboard back into the office jukeboxes from
Which they came from, googles and facebooks of greed
Yahoos, microsofts, apples, paypals, amazons,
It’s a hard job innovating for a generation
You don’t truly understand, the zeitgeist
Arrives before you’re ready and departs
Leaving you a bitter and cynical old man.

It is but one piece of the nature of our species, a regrettable facet of our consciousness, but I would counter that there are so many other aspects of ourselves that might one day save us from ourselves. Wonderful and timely poem, well composed and evocative. Thank you for this.
