Manipulate
my brain,
and how it takes in
information.
Play
with my DNA,
see how I change.
“Oh, interesting.”
This world
isn’t what it was before,
I don’t think it ever was
and we were sold more
of a lie
that we ever realized.
Chip me,
drug me,
or unplug me.
Replace any
old parts of me.
Implant me,
grant me,
life aplenty,
lie to me,
make me the enemy.
Take up the quest
for life eternal,
drink the blood
of boys and girls
and live forever
like infernal
gods you worship
in your temples.
Brand me,
track me,
like I’m cattle,
feed me bugs
to save the planet.
Make me hate
being free,
enslave me,
anything
to save
humanity.
There’s rockets
going to Mars,
but I see
you aren’t getting on.
I think
the best and the brightest
know what’s happening,
we’re being conned.
Whatever,
it’s too much to think.
Let me know
when I can neural link.
Maybe the AI
can make some sense,
of all of these lies
and cries
for consequence.
Why do I feel
like it’s all going to be over
soon?
Like when a stranger
walks into a room
and everything goes quiet,
too quiet,
like no one trusts
what anyone
is going to do.
The days
of boring days
are over.
We’re approaching a climax,
and I don’t ever want
to go back,
everything’s too interesting, now.
I can’t wait to see what’s next.
