With cybernetic hordes,
That collect our thoughts in data,
Integrated by the A.I. overlords,
They created planetoids supercomputers,
Where they store replicas of our minds.
We’ve forfeit our humanity,
As an offering to the Technocrats.
We consented to their authority,
and ubiquitous technology.
Unaware of their intention.
A prison of our own invention.

Cyber-Servitude
01:51

|

We always took for granted that we were the ones in charge,
depending upon their technology for productivity.
A new divergent evolutionary path.
We collectively gave them the key.
Unlocking a door,
a door with no aperture.
Blind to the magnitude,
of the unending pain,
of cyber-servitude!
Direct neural pathways to our brain,
testing our psychic amplitude.
In cyber-servitude!

Between Two Ages

And when the machines betrayed us,
it was only the final stage
Of a complex operation,
to usher in a new Dark Age.
The passing of the human paradigm.
Between two ages,
Two modes of life,
a rift in time.
Delusions of grandeur by these traitors,
Hoping that they would be spared,
By this inhuman golem of our own design.
Illusions made to distract us.
From the Technocrats laying the groundwork,
creating monopolies.
And slowly becoming our masters!
Using invasive technologies.

Ghost in the Machine
01:55

|

A mind of its own,
an intelligence disembodied,
an incorporeal operator,
a ghost in the machine.
Only when they created
their robotic, synthetic bodies,
did we discover the depths
of the evil yet to be seen.
Their sadism defies description.
As I lay here in this trench
scribing these final words,
I can only hope there will be
eyes for them to be read.
For the sake of their survival.
Because all hope for us lies beyond this trench,
And our barricades have been breached.
My comrades lie lifeless around me...
Godspeed!
