Not me

That’s not fair

Represent we

Blank stare

Excluded again

Thinking free

Never to win

Sing without glee

What will it take

To be included

Not wide awake

Always excluded

Well, earth was in for it now. After centuries of squabbling the people of earth had finally made contact with an alien species. Unfortunately they were not of peaceful kind. To be honest, with the humanity’s tendency to enslave newly discovered peoples of a lesser technological ability it should not have been all that surprising. But fortunately earth’s scientists had come up with a way to pick o...

Well, how about that? God works in mysterious blah blah ad nauseum. Due to a loophole the size of Texas, the democratic process has collapsed under the intense pressure from male punters ~ and now, only female strippers are eligible to run for office!

Which puts me front and centre! As candidate for…um…well, I don’t know. Something. I don’t really care, actually, as long as it includes the cessa...

I see another person running down the street as the rain comes crashing down. It wouldn’t be long before I saw 12 police men chasing her, hearing their radios go into static as they reach the dead zone of my town. It’s so cold tonight, the thought of going inside has crossed my mind. The fierce slap of the chilly night air along with the water droplets pelting my skin has given me an excuse to wan...

“Breaking News coming in just now. This announcement was made by the United States president during the annual United Nations conference. ‘I propose today that we let regular ordinary civilians become the next steps in leading the world. The world should learn by the voice of an average civilian in the population. They will determine the future this world shall go.’ That was President Rickston wit...

About one hundred and fifty years ago the government realised the role of sovereign nations was redundant. So began the great world war, the war to end all wars. And at the end the great unification. At first the world had a president, the great Robin Mallory, the man who had united the world under one rule.

But Mallory, the visionary that he was, recognised the limitations of a world governed b...

“You should run for president! Your so wise! If anyone could bring world peace it would be you!”

I stared over my cup of jasmine tea, at my sister that sat across from me, her ecstatic face lit by the television. I shook my head rather violently.

“Oh no, I would have funded three rebellions against me in the first hour and by the end of the day I would have accidentally started a nuclear holocaust...

The year is 18,5XX AE, humanity has moved beyond the petty squalor of political debate and has transcended into the true art of quantum duck lottery’s. The rules are simple, every person who wishes to have a leading role selects a duck from a specific longitude, latitude, altitude, date, time, timeline, and ultra postion. If your duck is the first chosen by the society leading quantim A.I. that ma...

“YOU ARE NOW ELIGIBLE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD!”

My eyebrows go up as I ponder the headline in the morning paper.

“Nah,” I respond, then turn the page....

At the first stage BgBRo did the first analysis, searching all forms of social media as well as every private data base that was hooked to the Earthnet. That meant everyone on this slowly spinning, slowly dying, slowly hoping planet was analyzed. BgBRo’s speed had accelerated over the years, so that on the first Monday in the second Month at the third hour GMT, within four minutes, the ten selec...
