“We’re not dropping out here, we’re infiltrating and taking over.” Terrence McKenna
We've seen the future and ... Some people don't want the future, they would prefer to stay with today, living in joyful inattentional blindness where everyone is waving not seeing. They would prefer to stay with today, blinkered against the cost of community where everyone is waving not seeing, retreating from hungry mongers. Blinkered against the cost of community, the ascent of self as king or queen, retreating from hungry mongers to seek the safety of autonomy. The ascent of self as king or queen, living in joyful inattentional blindness to seek the safety of autonomy, some people don't want the future.

You paint a grim, albeit accurate, picture of the state we’re in.

Evolution exists for a reason. I enjoyed this form as well as the content. I was thinking it was a triolet but that’s not right. Could you steer me to the future of knowing? Thanks.

Sorry for the delay LuAnne – this form is a Pantoum where the stanzas following after the first repeat the second and fourth line of each preceding stanza and concludes with the first line. It can be rhymed too.
