generative AI rages on
waging an invisible battle
inside dense burning forests of
blind ambition steeped in
the rank of festering money
digging and digging away for
dig is digital and digital digs
its nebulous way into hyperrealism
mind-bending the gullible eyes
lulling the senses to a promise
of clichéd settings where wars
don’t exist and you’re always
just a gig app away to
eye-bleeding, money-making
TikTok posts linked to an endless string
of harrowing contradictions
binding your anesthetized soul
and hurling your enslavement
towards oblivion
