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)

indeed. Is LOVE going to be enough, realistically, to save us? I wonder. Time will tell. Inspired by a conversation I had with another writer, with regards to the future and the state of our world 's escalating tensions at present. Military robotics, DARPA and Boston Dynamics, to name two, segued me into Cyberpunk.

"Swords", Leftfield. LYRICS. The comments planted within the Meanings/Comments left within Leftfield's lyrics for "Swords", inspired me in part to write this as well. Loving the lyrics.
