The First Colonial Poem

Colonization

This is a colonial poem
It colonizes
It is a proverbial poem
When it internalizes
It is a poetic colonization
When it is a fervent poem
And it is a poem of the colony
When it is a colonized poem
It is a verbal civilization
And the verb “to colonize” in this very poem
Is a verb that has been colonized.


I, Captain Jack Fox, of Colony 7, leader of the Akbar Lightning investigation unit
wrote the first five lines of the above poem. The added six lines were written by an artificial intelligence. I understand it to be my friend, 8kbo.

  1. Theosis considered his colonization to reflect what his Greek namesake (Theseus) meant from etymological history. "Theus" was a root word that meant "institution." He considered the juxtapositions between colonizing and founding or instituting--it was synonymous with the noun and the verb making it together have the pragmatic effect of etymologically invoking stable/foundational action. Theosis meant to manifest as God in transcendental Christianity--he thought himself manifesting God through the institutions that he was embedded in. This was what democracy meant. Every individual part of spiritual colonies. How could they be brought together peacefully? Peace would be the highest manifestation of God, it would mean a true surrender. That was okay, he was always willing to fight.
