Taloial dilemma

Hope, love and humanity.

Many have pondered over the very meaning of creation

amidst the surge of machinery that amplifies humanity.

But I turn to you,

great Talos of Crete,

who was destroyed so easily

despite Hephaestus’ near perfect design.

Such is our struggle now too,

I suppose.

Fighting with beings of a new age,

as the remnants of the age of man

that fight to remain true to themselves.

Though, I daresay,

human ingenuity lies not in our (un)perfect creations

but in the meaning behind their very reason of being.

As are we, simple tools for the realization of a cause,

existing in time and space

simply because of a ripple of imagination and dream,

with which without,

we are naught but vibrating atoms with the ability to consider their assembly.

I question thyself, kind reader in a faraway time,

‘When will you finally enjoy life?
