Huxley's Kaleidoscope: O Brave New World Poem by Cherylyn Vardi

Chaotic pieces of tinted glass
Kidnap loitering light
Slivered images of a history
Pause in fluid flight


Frantic fragments frolic
On the landscape of man's mind
Corporation coated color
Change the pigments of our time


Pharmaceutical and Fast Food traffickers
Sell contentment on TV
Promoting purchased happiness
Aiding and abetting consumer Junkies


Commercialized reality
Optical illusions of new age design
Plagiarizing humanness
Into placid patterns of life


Technology viewed through a stereoscope
Identical images side by side
The right eye sees the naked truth
The other pixeled lies
Gyrating shards of genius
Networking Man into social bliss
Coercing him with convenience
Luring him into an apps abyss

High tech hussies entice the masses
With gadgets of the day
New generations of iOS and Android
Digital pimps procuring robotic play


In this pacifying plasma paradise
Where automation trumps skill and craft
Mediocrity is Man's magnum opus
Independent thinking mere heresy of the past
