THE BLOCKCHAIN (An Original Poem)

The fear is gone,
we are no longer drawn,
into the yawn of
the alarm clock dawn.

The slender thread
of humanity is frayed,
we wring our gnarled hands,
suffer, weep, then pray.

Teary eyes are useless
when the mind can't see,
let your heart take you deeper
into this soliloquy.

Operating on the edge,
this idea has the power,
to free us from our bonds
and now is the hour.

Decentralized, dissolving power
from the harbingers of misery,
making words at last ring true...
‘My country ‘tis of thee’.

Our future is so fragile,
our reality — greed and pain,
it’s time for this binary savior,
unleash the blockchain.

All for now.

Poetry should move us, it should change us, it should glitch our brains, shift our moods to another frequency. Poetry should evoke feelings of melancholy, whimsy, it should remind us what it feels like to be in love, or cause us to think about something in a completely different way. I view poetry, and all art really, as a temporary and fragile bridge between our world and a more pure and refined one. This is a world we could bring into creation if enough of us believed in it. This book is ephemera, destined to end up forgotten, lingering on some dusty shelf or tucked away in a dark attic. Yet the words, they will live on in memory. I hope these words become a part of you, bubble up into your memory when you least expect them to and make you feel a little more alive.

Most of us have experienced a moment of perfect peace at least once in our lives. In these moments we lose ourselves and feel connected to everything. I call these mindful moments. Words can’t describe how complete they make us feel.

These moments are usually fragile, evaporating in seconds. What if there was a way to train your mind to experience more of them? It’s deceptively easy and requires nothing more than a subtle shift in mindset. My new book, Mindful Moments, will teach you to be much more content despite the chaos and imperfect circumstances continuing to unfold around you. Upgrade your life experience today for only $15.99 on Amazon.com.
