This Modern World Poem by DM W

This Modern World



This modern world is now dominated
By technologically advanced gadgets.
It is organised by executives:
Who work in crystal towers and devise
Bloodless systems of control.Their systems
Are deceptive, in that they conceal their
True nature, and their marked intent.
For they appear to us as dazzling,
Entincing illusions. We can observe
The patterns from movies to 'democracies'.
These executives are dark agents like
Plato's allegorical puppet masters:
The cave operators. O they promote
Voluntary servitude and call it freedom!
They are intent on hiding Truth's pure Light,
And keeping us focused on mere shadows.
