HUSH HALO is a dystopian sci-fi poetry collection set in a near-future, shaped by technology and irreversible choice. Each poem is paired with a unique soundscape in both digital format and in printed books.
CONTEXT: After the Great Optimization we all had a choice. This poem below tells a story of Systoics, a privileged group that integrated into the system, believing they had now perfected themselves.

All Roads Lead Nowhere
Hush Halo · Poetry by Sam Oldman
Since movement
replaced all meaning
every horizon here
feels equally sufficient.No signs warning me
of dead ends.No direction pulls harder
than another.Relief
settles in the logic.Among these crowds
I’m a lonely wanderer
on my looping path.These crowds beside me,
on my way to nowhere
I cannot get anywhere
but lost.I stopped checking the map
a long time ago.
