Condemned

Tangled wire hair, plastic skulls slump, empty promises

Old electric brain dump, a sign reading "place condemned"

Tied in hypnotic beds, lie cracked mirrors reflecting Adonises 

Fractured holes, broken heads we no longer mend

Batteries bleed, evolutionary ancestor of solid state brains

Keys weeds breed, ancient technology brought to die

Worshiped discarded gods, decomposing remains

Graveyard sarcophagus pods, time frozen fossils evolved AI

Cold, heartless progeny birthed from the discarded

Sold as electric phylogeny no regard for the departed

no regard, no feeling, everything in the most distant third person.
That is what we have become...human existence condemned to become extinct.
We need to have a requiem mass for the soul of humanity.

The requiem would probably be most appropriatly played on AI composed, synthesized music auto tuned and pitch corrected. Thanks for the read and comment Jacob

[Ashi written tale & poe..]

The rhythm of your poem is amazing! I really enjoy your writing style and can’t wait to learn more from you. Keep it up! :)

[Soren]

You are too kind Ashi and I most humbly appreciate your comment

it's very scary. with many strong consonants and long words, it creates a world that is foreboding. thematically, it is also quite unsettling. decay, and the end of some kind of era. perhaps the past world was not perfect but this new epoch might just be worse.

[Soren]

Thank you Ern for your insightful response. We live in a disposable world necessary for a continually growing economy where everything is throw away including the people when they are outdated

yes, and though im not an expert, from my understanding things are changing fast and not for the better. i spend an embarassing amount of time listening to podcasts about future predictions (i dont take it too seriously, but it helps me forget about myself for a bit) and supposed experts are saying what you are saying just in less beautiful language.
