BRAVE NEW WORLD

The galaxy is in labor.
The galaxy is in labor.
She’s birthing a
Brave New World.

It’s taking after
Orwell and Huxley,
With a bit of
Twilight Zone swirls.

Its temperament is wild-child.
Like the unruly, unsettled West.
Seemingly inhospitable,
This baby’s putting us all to our tests.

Copiously peppered with pitfalls,
Booby-traps – left, center, right.
Roadblocks,
Insurmountable hurdles,
Our enemies hide in plain sight.

Treacherous is this terrain,
With multi-dimensional paths.
On land,
By sea,
In air…
Travel options transforming real fast.

It’s a breath-taking beautiful world,
Of a diabolical, dangerous kind.
Got to carefully watch where we step,
Negotiating the fields of our minds.

How to best prepare for these times?
One might ask.
How did things change so absurdly abrupt?
I’ve surrendered to the best navigator
This Universe has,
In confusion,
Prayer is always what’s up.

By guidance of God,
My compass divines.
I avoid pitfalls, and traps
Of all kinds.
I leap over hurdles,
Press through the roadblocks,
Getting my haters to let their
Light shine. 
Heeeey.

I’ve awaited these times
Since I was a kid.
My lineage is of pioneers.
There’s endless potential in this
Vast brave new world.
I’ll blaze my own paths,
Far and near.

I’ll guide others.
I’m a teacher.
There’s no going back.
That’s crystal clear.
