Homogenized

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Dec 13, 2017 

Humanity
is now
in a blender.
For centuries
humanity
lived in
pockets,
developing
different ways
of being.
Time passes
humanity
spreads
mixing the pockets.
Friction,
grinding,
war,
the pockets
grind
against one another.
Time passes
technology advances.
Enter the Internet.
Homogenization accelerates
at the speed of
light.
Old ways
obliterated,
pockets homogenized, 
a new world is born.
