This is a poem very much in the style I used in the first poem of my first book, Word Games, called Artificial Flavor. I wanted to create this composite out of all the facts and documents of our lives, in this staccato rhythm, using lots of alliteration to generate the music, and create also a sense of how a whole like this can be undermined by unscrupulous people on the web nowadays, with a click of a mouse or the push of a button. And we basically don't even know what's going on. There is a dangerous element to technology, a scary element, and we live in a world and in a life beyond our control, and that's even more scary. If this is unsettling, it is meant to be. It also maybe speaks for a whole generation of people who don't have souls today, who live for themselves, at everyone else's expense, and that disrespect in today's society is scary too. estory
