《Poetic Thoughts》Hellos and Goodbyes
Advertisement
Every word said after hello,
Determines the future you'll have to live in.
Every tear shed before goodbye,
Tells you if the past was, indeed, a win.
Each goodbye is said so that
Your future can be just a bit better.
Each hello goes on to show that
There's a past to you, a hidden treasure.
With the world moving without a pause,
It's easy to forget what greetings mean.
With the hellos and goodbyes being said so often,
The souls we meet in between become routine.
- Izzie

This chapter is going to be the final one in this book. I'll be back soon with a better concept, storyline, and hopefully, better poetry. This book has good poems, really good ones, some average ones, and also some really bad ones, but I regret nothing. This is a very special project for me. It's been just over a year since I started this and I still can't believe 7k people have read this book.
There are so many people I have to thank, starting with any person who has ever read any poem from this book. If it weren't for all the support, I definitely would have given up really soon. I have no idea how to even thank the people that have voted and commented on this book. Each and every person plays such an important role in what this book has become. Thank you so much.
There are some people I have to thank a bit personally though. lyra0020, Bhuvanesh8 and sujak12A2, you guys are the best support I ever could have asked for. lyra0020, you are the reason I even started this account and you'll always be the first person that recognized that I had something of a talent.
Now, those guys are my friends and they really don't have any other choice, but there are some people who supported me, right from the start even though we didn't already know each other. DreamerByTheMoon, Miraisnotmyrealname, rachellearose and TheAutumnist, you guys have been such a source of support for me and I really don't know how to thank y'all. I'll always be grateful for all the support you gave me. I'm so lucky to have known such sweet persons in my life.
In conclusion, this book is ending here, but I will be back with another work of mine soon enough.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
