《Time And Thoughts》Tools or Instruments?
Advertisement
Strings are being plucked,
Music is being made,
Emotions are being portrayed,
And I was being played.
Was it my heart or the harp?
Both are instruments of love,
and are complicated to understand,
but when learnt, makes such beautiful music,
and when broken, is expensive to replace.
Was it my vocal cords or the violin?
Both are instruments of importance,
known to deliver messages of significance,
but depending on how the body of the instrument is handled,
the sound could be violent or tranquil.
Was it my hair or the guitar?
Both are instruments of popularity,
loved and tried by everyone,
but is so easily destroyed by the release of frustration.
We are both used by humans,
So what's our difference.
I can't help but wonder,
Are we tools or instruments?

Techno-Heretic
Eli is an ancient man sentenced to death for the crime of surpassing the sacred number of 32.8, which is the allowed percentage of increased mental ability from the use of AI chips. As he journeys through death and into a world of fantasy and magic, he finds himself approaching never before seen heights of magical power and ability. Powers that will shape the world and would see him go down in legends for generations ever after. But just because someone acquires magical abilities, that doesn't mean magic is suddenly the most important thing in their life. Some people aren't looking to be all-powerful gods, have the world bow at their feet, or spend their days obsessing over accumulating ever more power. Some people just want acceptance, stability, and the warmth of their loved ones to drive away the cold loneliness of the night. And in a world where magic is the bedrock of society, where magic is what determines who is preferred for siring children, where people with high magical ability are destined to live in great luxury and those without magic simply live to make due, this difference in values and perspective could not have a starker contrast. As Eli and the people around him navigate the misconceptions and deceptions of this world, he will represent a great and magnificent future for the human race. One where humanity will stand above the elves, dwarves, orcs, fairies, and all the horrors of the world. Sadly, men's tools are as fallible as the people who make them, and in a society where the potential of an individual is determined solely through their magical level, this seed of promise may yet turn venomous.
