You live your life spending your lifeline from nine to five in a hivemind

earning a dime in a grind that's not worth your time.

You waste your lifeline to some kind of weak minds and find

that they leave you behind,

in a way they've designed.

to bind you with chains, to level up their gains,

They earn all the goods

and you can keep the change.

by Dichter Klinge/Stefan

here’s a kind of intelligence “IQ tests” don’t measure -

divergent thinking -

how many seemingly-disconnected thoughts can you hold at once?

how many new connections can you make?

hold that thought.

My poems are not meant to be read top to bottom

They are an interconnected web
