Flower Garden Spooky

Aloha poets,

     In keeping with spooky halloween season. here's a haunting flower
garden that inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!


Frontier Culture Club


Competition counts and drifts into its foggy future
Unwillingness to wait leads to system soggy suture
Stagnation hangs low as if heavy trees with big fruits
Technology enters with cool bravura, guns, and boots


Pharmaceuticals arrive with peacock feathers and all
Robotics follow suit without suits to make the call
Artful intelligence goes artificial into the wall
Techno goes nano then begins slow crawl


Bets go down as to the direction of lifestyles
Wealth grows somewhere beyond local turnstiles
Prefrontals with images for speculation's taste
Earth in rear view mirrors exudes its waste


In our vast America there seemed so much space
Android system humans devour once a pretty place
Cosmetic surgery and screens cover creepy interface
Print more money just to stay on pace with the race


Winners and losers the imaginary divider curtain
Unregulated computers keep nothing at certain
Politics grow contentious in leaps and bounds
Singularities lurk contentious off the grounds


Bright futures rest inside only investor's minds
Professors reel in students under wings and blinds
Capitalists venture to gather as vultures circle overhead
Entrepreneurs rise by morning thank system's not yet dead


Put your next bet down on the productivity of new world
Hope your bet is affordable as technology does its twirl
Giddy the rest, bet on cheap energy thought found
Living standards erected on new soggy ground


Failure's central idea is to have a winner
To invite a bright future over to dinner
To build contexts where nothing is
On foggy horizons frontier fizz


Such a sweet story to be so naive
Systems of story therefore to believe
Frontiers open for people to rise a stand
Exceptional is expected across this west land


Who are they to say a welfare state shines the way?
Can technology and computers hold stagnation at bay?
And what about social security and all that medicare talk
War conscripting our best technology is the true global clock
