#4 Idiocy
The Idiocy of Trying to Justify a Mortal Position
The Borg says resistance is futile
Amalgams of culture, collective
Hive mind. The stuff of our spirits says
That we all come from the same substance.
What is eternal? Skin color, or
Poverty, or inequality?
Reward is no justification
For suffering what is offensive
Through the birth process, either that, or
Is it just random? Or because they
Were strong? They are all potentially
Dangerous. Lift the veil. Let us see.
(I am losing it, folks. It's only day 4 and I am losing it....Borgs?)

oh no not losing it, very creative this :)
By the way, your elephant, I showed it to everyone and they were all amazed and totally blown away, so thanks.
Why not Borgs? I love SF, and find anything to do with consciousness fascinating. I like the way the poem looks on the comment page, all in one line. somehow the impact of the narrator's questions is even more powerful.
I like borgs and found this poem thought provoking. XXOO
heh. Why not? Borgs ARE way cool.
christine, what comment page, where? All in one line?
But then, I think this is not really about Borgs....but about...yes, consciousness, and US.
