And I think you've managed to to captivate that very be well, estory. To me it seems like the world by as we used to know it is heading towards a dangerous abyss. I'm an optimistic person, I always have been, but I don't like what I see. Add the pandemic to that. Well, I say no more.
I really liked your poem,, great adjectives to describe it all. Ulla:)))

    Thanks for the excellent review and all your continued words of support for my pieces. I am glad this was able to capture that sense of being swept away by the pace and overwhelming weight of technology in today's society. estory

One wonders how a grouping of words can be a frenzy - but you have shown us how. The world is much too fast and crammed with things to learn if you want to keep up. I admire how you wrote this to seem a barrage of life spilling over to a waterfall.

You are right to the point. I have been listening to podcast a lot, 4 hours per day when I can. I'm constantly wearing the wireless Apple earpods. I'm addicted to it, podcast, YouTube and Netflix. We are looking forward to the dinner time every day when there is a good show to watch, which is not hard to find. Is it the end, not sure yet. I can see the future when AI will take over more of our lives, just like in the Matrix movie.

This poems flows very well and write to the point. I also like the rhyming in the poem. Exceptionally done.

Yes it is h elter skelter these days. There are so many diverse philosophies floating around. The media is scrambling our brains with there 'Fake News' approach. What they think they will gain from it, I truly don't know.
The result of this mixed up philosophy is idiotic. It is helping criminals to now say that 'crime will pay'. The way to sanity is nebulous at this present time.

What a helter-skelter pace you have generated in this poem. There is scarcely anywhere to stop for breath when reading it. The effect is stunning.
I like the way you have introduced that legalistic attitude so prevalent these days, preventing people from acknowledging their mistakes.

Your fast-paced rap-like style worked for this. It portrayed the fast crazy flashy image that you were looking for. I practically was falling down trying to keep up with it. I still wonder who runs my life, is it me or my computer?

This poem, Apocalypse pt 10, seems to suggest that we are being fed our truth from every corner. The end of the world will not be televised, but we can catch several versions on podcasts that should satisfy every bent.

    Thanks so much for the excellent review and your wonderful comments supporting the piece. I am glad it was able to articulate something of the out of control advance of technology and the crazy pace of society today. Jesus gave the clue about the end: "It will come like a thief in the night." It will come at night. When you have not time to react. estory

Outstanding narrative and thought provoking commentary. Perhaps you've missed your calling. Are you sure you're not a lawyer or one of those people that write the agreements that we have to except every time we use or update new software? In any event; Well done!

This lines landed on a hot sport -

in the fine print,
where we catagorically deny
any responsibility for opinions
not wholly expressed
or verified.

Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

A collage of technical speak. The fine print of contracts and the words meant to belay any attempt at placing responsibility. Also information overload with hopes of obfuscation. The jargon is hard to follow, but the message is clear. Good poem.

Do you write instructions for easy assembly also?
