Death of an Era

 

Galileo, Copernicus, 

     Leonardo, Michelangelo ...

were ahead of their time

in renaissance epoch.

 

The modern era of Wars: 1, 2, and Cold,

the few demanded peace and love

in the age of Aquarius.

 

In our contemporary time

we aim to keep up with information,

technology, and takeover by  A I .

 

What awaits for us?

what will our children face

after the end of democracy.

 

We all live in the end of an era

inundated with oligarchy across the world

for the avaricious richest few
