From Many To One
The brain strives to expand from one to many
In a society of abundance and plenty
There was a time in our recent history
With so much innovation and creativity
Music was driving down various streets
With new styles, voices, and unheard of beats
Semi conductors began to launch their flight
Permeating adversity through its plight
Technologies were expanding in all its ways
Allowing all of us to extend our days
Some of them saving us dollars and pennies
While the brain was travelling from one to many
But somewhere along our times way
The brain became stagnant with little to say
Road blocks to music and its automation
Made talking not singing become revelation
Innovation began to comfort its recliner
As the rich get richer with a life much finer
And no matter what media you direct your mind
They’re all identical amidst their ratings grind
And brain atrophy begins its assault
While delusional pons become their cult
Harvesting and distributing their relentless fears
To indoctrinate others for support and its cheers
Chaos ensues and to no one do they abide
While they reel in the vulnerable, who are anxious to side
In so many places, like father, like son
As their brain as director, goes from many to one
About this poem
I am trying to decribe how the brains memory utilization in people is getting worse. Music has more repetitive automation in it, and in the film industry, they are remaking everything, or producing seuquel after sequel, as if we are afraid of taking a chance on creativity. Stereotypes and prejudices are growing, and relate this to memory utilization and the brain.
