Inundated

John Prophet

Inundated.
Unlike
never before.
Cyclonic
mix.
Addled
minds,
thought.
Piercing
soul’s psych.
What to
believe?
Who to
trust?
Overwhelming.
Information
overload,
flooding
the senses.
Light speed
penetrating.
Flowing
into hearts,
minds.
Lack of
moderation.
Screaming
anxiety,
stress,
fear.
Pounding
rhythm
of technology.
Misused.
Which way
to turn?
Who to
trust?
What’s
truth?
Pitting
one against
the other.
Pushback.
More of
the same.
Inducing
confusion,
confrontation.
Soon flying
off the
rails.

John Prophet

John Prophet is considered by many in the literary community to be the Salvador Dalí of poetry. His rough-hewn unfettered style mimics the artist’s unconventional view of perceived reality. Prophet encourages (through the skeletal approach of his writings) the reader to focus on the individual meaning of each word, thus allowing its message to be front and center. Meaning that can be muted within sentences and paragraphs. This creates vividness otherwise hidden. The skeletal nature of his efforts also allows the reader to flesh out meaning based on the readers personal worldview. Thus, no two observers are reading the exact same creation. more…
