Vessels Poem by John Prophet

Vessels.
Empty
vessels.
Hardware.
Biological
machinery.
Wild
instincts.
Savage beast.
Simply
organic
emptiness.
Empty
mindlessness.
Game piece.
Manipulated.
Input.
Software
added.
Pumping
info,
thoughts,
ideas.
Belief systems.
Programmed.
Controlled.
Game played.
Pieces moved.
Moved to
action.
Careening
across the
board.
Rules installed.
Empty vessels
filling up.
Games been
joined.
Light
or dark.
Simple
pieces
in play.
Manipulated,
from afar!
