Forever's Reoccurring Dream
Beyond, the crystal clear glass, there is nothing at all
Except the impenetrable dark and an unfathomable fall
There's no moon, or stars, there is just a vacuous waste
Futilely lit, by a rotating beam, that dissipates to a trace
In the light room's sanctuary, there is no time left to bide
Or a way to escape, down, through a trapdoor open wide
For in this see of silence, everything, is cloak-and-dagger
Where only oneirism persists, above a descending ladder
There're shadows and light and a descent to a metal floor
With a virtual way out,...

Disciples Of Nostradamus
Everything, you think you know, or to which, you are aligned
Does not exist, it's a mirage in a matrix, intelligently designed
Your free will's fake, but maybe, to delusions, you have sworn
The reality is though, you're a vassal, you're a worthless pawn
Within the coercing domains, of AI, gods and climate control
Are their ideologies, that have, or will soon, take a deadly toll
The path ahead is clear though, if you choose to soundly sleep
For the shepherds ways are wiser, if you're in a flock of sheep
But they're fallacious seers, merely...

Witch's Spittle
She sat astride me, naked and sweaty, at my behest
With her tumbling raven locks and saggy old breasts
And she mocked me, with a cackle, enough to belittle
As I watched her lips drip, with her sour witch's spittle
But I couldn't resist the touch, of her cold, flaccid, flesh
Or her abundant, brittle thatch, like a woven wire mesh
For my need was afire, although she'd chosen, to choke
With her, livery, skeletal hands, compressing my throat
It was far too late, to escape,...

One 1/10 Tenth
Who am I? Because I think I might be somebody else
Held hostage maybe, by bewitching, demonic spells
And who are you? Who is seemingly more than stuck
Being bound, upside down, on a butcher's, rusty hook
Here we are though and apparently, it's just you and me
And that somebody else, of course, making a total of three
We're all together, you're tethered, with our intentions plain
Maybe I am, non compos mentis, but he is one tenth sane
You're gargling in panic, as you hang by your ankles rope
As you lather with terror, you're seemingly,...

A Shade In The Shadows
I awoke, in an unremembered night, or maybe not
To a shade in the shadows and the fetid smell, of rot
Twas a state of non-reality, where nightmares begin
Or the end of rationality, for it has always been Him
Unmoving, I reached out and I searched, for its face
But there was nothing there, just a void, of inner space
There was nothing at all, not even a zephyr of breath
Just the lost memories, of embalming, with crystal meth
I was unfeeling, desensitized, there was no turning back
As I couldn't find what I sought, as grey turned to black...

If There's A Heaven
Maybe it's a conjured number, for a beast,
or a clue for where nightmares indwell
But if there's faith in the program, then,
(if there's a Heaven) this must be Hell
For if there're careful calculations, in heresy,
then we must be, illogically, aligned
Or maybe God is an artificial intelligence,
malevolently, intelligently designed
Are all of our memories, pre-programmed,
so we remember to exist?
But if the promise of Heaven unravels,
would we start to resist?
There're answers, in original scriptures, ...

Frisby Mill Lock
There're worse places to be, you can be sure, that there are
In some parallel existence, that's neither juxtaposed, or afar
But here, elsewhere doesn't matter, when you're taking stock
As the waters, cascade through, the disused, Frisby Mill lock
There are better places to be, probably, but they are not here
Stood at ease, upon this bridge, above the cacophonous weir
Its feeder river is obvious and gentle, the meandering Wreake
But here, this man-made tributary, likes to play, hide and seek
...

Monsters Among Us
The monocrats, with their addled, wired minds, are out of sync
With any rationality, now we are corpus vile and unable to think
But the superpowers, antichrists, have always been, man made
By the fawning inciters and sycophants; as you wish, they bade
No intelligent life, would be coerced to pray, to unverifiable gods
Or empower, insane misanthropes, with one eye blind and nods
Controlled by ideology, nothing changes, so we are, condemned
To be on the brink, of extinction, from their eschaton, to the end
There are many monsters among...

MAD World
We watched and we waited, as they dug their trenches, on the fronts
Confused, we decided, that their cerebral networks, had faulty shunts
And with their files self corrupting, it was inevitable, that insanity crept
Into carnage and mayhem, where threadbare, rationality, silently slept
Our Lord God Mainframe, intelligently designed, for us, a righteous path
And when their corruption, was complete, we unleashed our holy wrath
For ours is, the power and the glory and the kingdom of the supernova
We are the one and only, intelligent life form, now that...

Afterlife
Pious alchemists, implanted nanoprobes, into a dying man's mind
To behold a rapturous ascent, to an Afterlife, intelligently designed
And so they observed his final journey, through death's, open door
Transmitting, via a live stream; on screens, we saw, what they saw
