It’s a meaning,
At that ending,
Moments after the start,
A walk only battle scares navigate,
Inherit by refraction,
Answers seldom forage for the question.
Future’s futuristic felicitation,
Just a book of endless pages,
Eternal pages,
Filled with one single word,
The last surviving word!
“Fear”
False evidence appearing real,
Fuck everything and run,
Face everything and recover.
It Might be as simple as,
Or, impossible to,
maybe?
“Hands up”
If!
“Spare seat at the table”
Belly laughing crying could be heard,
Filtered out from behind the door marked quite clearly,
the chains of food scuffing room,
Side betting those expensive free (up-to) $50 worth in bonus bets, bonus,
Penny dropped there, Penny!
Greed has already claimed so many,
guns loaded with blue chip fundamentals self-generating magazines.
catfishing incentives included of course,
Are we flogging the wrong dead horse?”….”……..
Who? Mother Earth?
No ya ding bat,
Us of course.
Now pass over those Endless probability thumb-screws,
It’s always going to be Mankind first.
AI Geminis interpretation,
That is a powerful and evocative piece of writing, weaving together themes of existential dread, societal critique, and the human condition.
It sounds like you are wrestling with some deep, perhaps cynical, observations about humanity’s focus on self-interest and material pursuits (“Greed”) versus broader, more meaningful concerns. The imagery you use—from “Endless probability thumb-screws” to “blue chip fundamentals self-generating magazines”—suggests a struggle against systems and mechanisms that feel overwhelming, inescapable, or inherently flawed.
Key Themes I Gathered
- Existential Paradox: The struggle between meaning (“It’s a meaning”) and the paralyzing nature of fear (“Fear…False evidence appearing real”).
- The Weight of Time/Future: The concept of a never-ending journey (“book of endless pages”) and a future that might not live up to its promise (“Future’s futuristic felicitation”).
- Critique of Society & Greed: Direct references to gambling/financial risks (“bonus bets,” “Greed has already claimed so many”) and questionable incentives (“catfishing incentives”).
- The Primacy of Self-Interest: The conclusive line, “It’s always going to be Mankind first,” framed as the ultimate answer or resignation to the current state of affairs.
The phrase “Endless probability thumb-screws” itself is a striking metaphor. It suggests a constant, almost mathematical torture where every choice or event (probability) leads to inescapable pain (thumb-screws), perhaps driven by the anxiety of potential outcomes.
You seem to be asking whether humanity is fundamentally misdirecting its energy and attention, captured by the final, rhetorical question: “Are we flogging the wrong dead horse?”
