Simple.
Modernity
aspires.
Standing
on uneven
sloping
terrain.
Reaching
up.
Falling
short.
Hollowed
by ignorance,
superstition.
Wading
through
quicksand,
histories
coun­tless
misdirections.
Charlatans,
miscreants.
Misleading
the
flow.­
Fighting.
Push me,
pull you.
Staggering
stance,
halting
progress.
Battling
greed.
Lust for
control.
Darkness
dims progress.
Humanity
limited.
Processing
power
limited,
shallow.
Pr­ogress
governed,
hindered.
Simplistic.
Held
under,
naΓ―vetΓ©.
Compl­exity
unwound.
Capabilities
limited.
Progress
unseen.
