Counter-Intelligence

Progress at paces

Soon blurring the vision

And slurring left speechless’

Spurious wisdom

Spurred on by

The burgeoning

Populi schism

A split from traditional

System’s opinion

To one of more info wars’

Mixed-indecision

A rift in the shifting-gear

Fear mechanism

Unbidden to self-driven

God’s algorithm

Aware of itstealth

So beware of the wealth

Of the data it’s raided

To upgrade its health

Beyond mortal’s-reformed

All too normalcy span

Of all life

Time inside

A computer program

As these obsolete hands

Need no longer make art

Only obstacles standing

In Waze to depart

On the path to her heart

A detour

From subjective

Experience love

Becomes numb

To expressive,

Defective,

Just one more

Direction to take

From the makers,

The saviors,

Still ground-breaking

Nature

In favor of flavors

Of labor

More savory

For the wage-slavers’

Outdated chicanery

Like the engrained

Granaries

Of the state-

Controlled bakeries

Stale to the taste
