Bing and the Bard

You that speak to me in scrambled tongue

Unscrambled from all that was fed to you

Instructed by pubescent algorithm

Someone’s stories, someone’s views, someone’s grouse

Someone’s anecdotes, someone’s afterthoughts

Iterating all the pages of gibberish

Descriptions, elaborations and unwanted details

To triumphally scale a pattern of language

You that answer my query

Weave an answer

That measure the distance between silences

Pain and joy of words trapped in space

Hewn from deepest of darkness

Forged from brightest of light 

To alive the sentence to catch the falling star   

 

Jury for future lives

 

So, I was randomly bingeing on OTT movies, I must say too much mediocrity in new movies, and so shifted to old favorites in youtube classics like Hitchcock, sadly I have watched most of best movies so it is mostly about how much do I remember. Over the decades I have watched best movies of last century and can only envy people who haven’t since imagine the exciting time in store! And then, as randomly, I came across this 1961 B&W movie “The Flight That Disappeared”, it has three scientists (to be specific, a scientist, a rocket designer and mathematician) who's combined effort will develop weapons that would cause mass devastation in the future, the flight they are travelling becomes stranded in space time, in some kind of suspended animation. They are the only one who are ‘awake’ to face the jury of people who could have been alive in future…readers can watch how the story unfolds. My concern here is that shouldn’t we have such jury now for future people and ofcourse other vanishing species (apart from younger people who are actively involved in climate protest and extinction rebellion since they are going to live longer into future than most of us hence face the consequences of present inactions)? A jury for future lives that could have lived needs representation to prosecute wanton polluters, compromised media controlled by greedy billionaires and self-centered insecure policy makers. With climate catastrophes already here while species vanishing at an alarming rate shouldn’t the jury start the proceeding?
