We Were


We Once Were Alive

Turgid fascination moves in brain wise flaccid horror,  

The eye vomits messages of legal illegals,

As the Apple dangles bitten,

Swarms of angels as innocent as locusts devour the seed,

Contradiction of existence in a world of moral storms,

Descend as algorithmic plagues of rhythmic tendrils copying vague,  

Eyes of the pervert scavenger’s thirst,

Lusting for everything infected by the machine,

No we are the programmed human;
Shadow’s of sentience behind the screen.
