THE ASCENDANCY OF THOUGHT

Wars of senseless division,

Googleplex processing powers

Quantum computing,

forming Femtosecond lasers scanning the alchemical,

Harvesting the nanomicronic.

Umbilical of reason, bonding the makeshift.

Qualiaception of schizoid perpetuity,

harvesting haphaestian their ambulatory ampoules,

interjecting salience, to the addicted mind...hungry for more knowledge.

Apropos QED, ergo ex nihilo, ad nauseum ad hoc allusions, et cetera,

convolution's obliterative obscurant metronomic.

Congealing the words of their apportioning ambient apperception

working to render the fat of fatuous perspectivalness.

From armchair philosophies condensing the galvanizing generations,

from fermentation of their dreaming boats,

held to imaginary winds of change,

stand the sentiels of the aeolian aeons,

harvesting a sea of owls wingspans,

measuring the gale's force.

They fall near the wayside of semantic tautologies,

to make intelligible the imbricated winds,

churning division.

Into a satori of susceptible change,

dawning on devolution,

in the name of Policing freedom they glide on memory.

In the lucid cannons of their reverberating with the ethos,

Medusal sails convex to the force,

of an as yet to be bettered world,

battered and decimated,

in all but the ascendancy of thought.
