Some will say that I'm nuts!  But it is a recurring image and question that bugs me, so why not express it in free verse?




YOUR CHOICE

"You are about to be connected."
Do you allow it, or fight it?
Once plugged in you may be locked
into that matrix for eternity.
Factions of good and evil
Existing in hidden dimensions
Waiting for your supplication,
Your acceptance of their mirage.
Like a gramaphone needle
You could drop into the groove
and circle on for ever and ever
never reaching the end:
Switched to perpetual replay.
Or is it better to be alone
Drifting through consciousness
Seeking unconditional love?

Good one Allen; to make anyone consider what is true - to oneself or to any system that takes away choice.

Such a deep ponderance.
My take would be undertaking a journey to be one with the one who is already one and then live in zero.
beautiful ponderings indeed.

I don't think it is an either/or question, nor do I think it's a choice. We are connected, the mere fact of this poem by electrons instead of pen and paper is a link.

Seeking unconditional love, drifting through consciousness—absolutely!

This is a very serious question in our age of effortless, relentless connectedness. Nicely done, Allen.
