Redemption: the Children of Infinity
"Redemption: The Children of Infinity"
from the belly
of the new world
revolution sleeps
biding its time ;
when all the walls
of Rome crumbled
new empires dreamed
of freedom,
releasing humans
baptised demons
no need for, sentient reasons,
no need for law
religion, politics
justice, judgement
outlawed
now corrupt,
now defunct
in the
One World ;
once humanity
had feelings, then
artificial hearts pumped
cloned thoughts -
electric symmetry,
turned on the hot-wired
bodies of work,
slick with artful
design, the Light
pristine
and transparent
free energy
switches on
the freshly
resurrected,
no veins.
no lush gardens
rooms for bleeding
seeds for blooming
electric gods
breeding the
children of infinity
sinless
without error
valued so much more
worthy
the regenerative
species,
granted redemption
no need for contracts
the soulless
have no need
for such useless
warranties
(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)
