Reinvent

The cyborg rust more than half a score
Cobwebs entangled round
The monster lurked near at hand
While memory chips stay bound

The monster heaved her heavy roar
Then stroked his plastic heart
A virus unleashed on him
And tore his core apart

Years captive now in dismal time
Too frail to process pain
Hope lingered in hidden RAM
As the monster roared in vein

A lightening storm rolled in one day
Static filled the air
A bolt came forth through firewall
And rendered captive bare

A rift in time, memory surged
The cyborg broke his chains
The monstrous howls are distant now
Cyborg now explores new plains
