Poem -
Grid
Grid.
Systems
in place.
Circling
the globe.
Overhead.
Underneath.
All around.
Grip
tightens.
Mind
grabbing,
strangling
the soul.
Free will
denied.
Canceled.
The grid
reaches.
Reaches
into the
mind.
Asimov’s
Mule.
Altering
attitudes
kneading
perspectives.
Grid
flowing into
the mind.
The soul.
Freedom
of uniqueness
crushed.
Single pane
of glass
information
flows.
Soon,
to be
installed
direct.
End of
the past.
Designer
of the
future.
Brave
new world?
Indeed!

I have to hand it to you,
brilliant how in this fast paced piece, which holds a very strong message. You managed to bring the reader to think on a famous science fiction writer! A lot of science fiction has bled into reality as years have gone on. No flying cars yet though. I loved how this raced along. Gave you a sense of time, and unavoidable doom
great write
Thank you kindly Gwendoline..
Hey John! I always love your thought provoking writes and this one was just as amazing. Taking me to the end and ponder. Great piece! Px
PS, You’re too kind.

This is truly powerful wordsmithing my friend......and somewhat frightening in its message/warning.....that shines a light on subject matter close to my heart and the focus of much of my attention.....I ALWAYS like your stuff JOHN...but this stands WAY OUT in my humble opinion....it moves beautifully ~ Especially when read aloud ~
~ "Free will denied. Canceled...."
~ "End of the past. Designer of the future..."
