The Fittest Poem by RIC BASTASA

to see to it that only the fittest survive
we opted to eliminate
we did not mind the pain of others
we have in mind
excellence

when only a few have been left
when the world has become lonelier than ever
we face them

we welcome them in this world of the fittest
this is the heartless
society
this is the logical corner of the universe
less human
robotic
calculating
devoid of emotions
there is no love

no one dies here
always awake and guarding

no tears, no screams
all pressing keys and looking for the solutions of
problems
stuffed.
