A Last Step Ahead

What happens when idealists clash with world destroying technologies...?

Back through time's veiling mists
impossible, too much entropy
to reorder.
We can only go forward,
leaping past the now.

Monumental forces
controlled by algorithms
bouncing from point to silicon point
across gold plated relays, bending
Einsteinian realities to push
this tiny capsule into a tomorrow.

The fragile envelope I travel in
blinks event horizon into existence
in perfect orbit around my blue green home.
Antennas align, beam reacquisition
wavelengths that remain unanswered.

They are all gone.
One Ideal triumphed in ashes over all others.
It's so damn quiet, down right peaceful...

I think I'll stay.
