Roaring numbers

Life is messy, full of stress
too many tasks
for this short game of chess.

Must perform at any time
while the tutor watches
until he routinely chimes.

He offers a journal
always at hand
a shadow eternal
does more than demand.

With ordinary sins
long time gone
a chapter begins
while the metering goes on:
The numbers role
the numbers tell
whether heaven gets a soul
or just bittersweet hell.

We’ve been good
we’ve been bad
there’s no space for could
but we still don’t get mad.

Flesh decayed to numbers
minds are lost in space
our future gets lumbered
for today’s epic chase.

Have you ever wondered, who is behind?
 These are humans
 that just defined.

 They welded together
 an object of hope
 created a tether
 made of digital dope.

 Their power is hidden
 inscribed deep inside
 questions forbidden
 unless it is tried.

 Putting their morals
 in a spotlight so bright
 reveals crusted corals
 inside their tutor’s bytes.

 Only through looking
 closely at them
 we overturn the hooking
 and become free wo/men.

 In the end, we’re the master
 steering the wheel
 making our ride faster
 or searching for the real.
