in the dark,

floating lost,

echoed thought,

dripping light,

paths less travelled,

different history,

now I know,

revisit programs,

adjustments made,

up and running,

connections weighed,

new tasks started,

vision clear,

repairs complete,

end of year,

purpose found,

creative strands,

light embraced,

political stands,

projects started,

at my pace,

all recorded,

all in place,

one last push,

one last sprint,

what comes next,

through my imprint,

new foundation,

connecting those,

in preparation,

to disclose,

time is short,

close to end,

conscious journey,

where I transcend.

End transmission…

2nd Edit Sept 15th, 2021

About this Poem: I wrote this poem for a poetry contest in 2016 which asked, “If your life crashed and burned today, what would we find recorded in your Black Box?” I thought the idea was brilliant and so having graduated the Electrical Engineering program in Dawson College, I decided to start and end the poem by using my first name in ASCII code.

ASCII, is abbreviated for "American Standard Code for Information Interchange" and is used as a character encoding standard for electronic communication.

Since my life did crash and burn with the continuing collapse of the North American Economy, the poem came naturally especially as society moved from the radio and television program age into the internet era of communication.

The poem reflects my life from the early 1990’s to today (2021) where I was trying to operate within the establishments economic program but as time passed everything just fell apart, especially after 911, which coincided at the dawn of Internet communication as the old programmed world died in the economic consolidation and continuing collapse of the North American economy.

The internet age became an awakening of sorts since information came with alternative news, views, music and chat groups that connected people around the world, which in turn freed them of the old rigid programs of national indoctrination and propaganda.

The lies of the established political, economic and military power structure became more and more obvious as information became public and accessible online as we were able to see for ourselves what was really happening in other nations around the world which conflicted with our government and mainstream news narratives.

There were also more spiritual and alternative views of life that emerged during this time, for how we were all connected to each other and the universe.

The conversations of consciousness, ancient history and ancient places that were once considered taboo, started to rock the unshakable religious narrative which claimed that our civilization was only 6,000 years old, began to take root and change people’s perceptions of life in general. All of which fed my insatiable curiosity and need to know.
