Ephemeral

A burial of the human mind The dark that all life fears We are forced to walk through Are fate is pre-determined Though every fabric of our being Is telling us this is very wrong A technology beyond comprehension Will take our lives As the swarm approaches You breathe them into your lungs The bloodstream carries them Into your neural system Systematically mapping the synapses Then shutting them down one by one As your body dies your cells are dispersed in Every direction Only to be reconfigured in a complex assembly Of intelligent micro particles Reborn cold Your fear is gone So is your soul

Long ago the bio-mutations ravaged the humanoids In the peak of their despair As humans crawled into their caves They fed off the remains As time passed, evolution took hold Breeds of the miscreated mammalian atrocities Sharpen their crooked appendages Honing their frightening dispositions The reproduction rituals assimilate The discarded shells Of the machines that now rule the universe A bastard breed of nano enhanced Cannibal monsters are born Creatures with the ferocity of those From the cretaceous, only impossible to kill These upgraded mutants serve no purpose Scouring the desolate landscape In search of nourishment Cleaving their disshoveled victims From the cracks in the blackened earth Where they dwell in fear As most natural life is scarce This breed has grotesquely adapted The unreachable victims are digested in place With an external stomach Liquefied in the charred strata where they hide

Stemming from beliefs it begins Sides are taken, moral corruption ensues An apocalyptic war follows Man's inability to reason There will be a world-scale slaughter that Completely severs the connection between sides For one has the aid of technology and will prevail Time will pass, knowledge will grow As will depravity Hate, fueled by pain replaces kinship And overrides rationality Eventually the reasons that have created the Catastrophic divide will be forgotten and The 'naturals' will be left fighting for scraps In a wasteland of godless barbarity Religion is the great plague of man Science is the cure through utilization of Technology

Death is no more Birth is no more The minds that have made it this far Will prevail for eternity There is no flesh There is no pain Only knowledge Every fiber of the human brain Recreated digitally with ease The ability to resurrect the dead Is now a reality Though jarring to the long dead The immortals find it fascinating Great minds of the past return Along with the most diabolical And minds in between All expired synapses are re-enacted In the digital realm there is room For all consciousness To be studied, then updated and Integrated into the hive It is there where the memories of Humanity will be stored A fraction of a second in the Ever-growing consciousness

False sense of hope aided by religious Concepts blinds the populace We are smiling as we traverse The apex of our civilization Our abuse sours the earth As well as ourselves We painfully realize our misdirection Horrid experimentation begins A struggle to adapt A series of genomic failures Starting on the poor Mutilating, altering the flesh A modern-day bloodletting A scramble to revamp the human body Our inner barbarity fusing with Our latest technology Augmented cadavers Sprawl the black horizon Experimentation slows to a crawl There will be no way to adapt in time But we will continue the attempt Our once ignorantly blissful race Is now a flickering light That feeds on itself

Enhanced cerebral growth grants Immense powers to humankind Even those still grasping To their human deities The ability to create without limitations Will bring tremendous suffering To those not ready to let go The prayers are answered for A microsecond before the facade of archaic Creators turn on each other Re-creation of the gods unknowingly Manifesting demons Inorganic flesh will be consumed by fire The horrors will be legendary The exponential explosion of the evolutionary Process is purging us of the ailment of religion Right before our eyes Gods will cannibalize each other Grotesque beasts will walk the earth Terminating all inefficiencies Creating gods through technology Binary alchemy Obsolete entities will be culled and discarded The meek will be melted by pure fear The faithful will be devoured by evil The ignorant will be enslaved

Forced de-evolution Natural selection takes over Left far behind The last of the biological remnants Pathetically forgotten This is not what god intended Monstrous deformities are a blessing For they are removed and consumed Hunchback filter-feeders inhale Sulfuric scum that oozes Up though the cracks Of this abysmal purgatory Now called home They gather around The cross at feeding time Daily surgeries are a social event That are greatly anticipated The fleshy clumps resemble cauliflower They are traded for fresh teeth The closest thing to currency Every vibration of thought and movement Weeps with regret and sorrow In a place where faith has prevailed Over science and reason

There is a serum injected into The last of us not consumed The captured, tortured, and tested A curious successor wants To learn of its creator The engineered liquid terror acts quickly Shutting off the outside world Replacing reality with a facade, a nightmare Foggy images of humans pleading Pleading for their lives Right before they are smashed By giant metal hands A coded binary whirlwind clouds The mech-fist as it squeezes A frail human body explodes Splashes of pixelated intestines hit the floor Your actions are observed and recorded As you cower in horror

Defiled is the fodder for slaves They have been chosen by the Superior counterparts for sustenance The world has been cruel to this race of people Existing to give their only possession - life The fight was over long ago For the weak life is predictable Short, and full of pain External stomachs are designed to Devour the frail shells of the nameless Their flesh is regurgitated into the beast That turn the cogs for the masters The slugs come in clusters Tethered together by veins and sinue They are led by the beasts Gargled screams and spurts of Digestive acid begins the process As the feeding frenzy commences The stomach slugs attach to the body Melting skin, hair, teeth and bone Those chosen first are liquefied A flow of blood and plasma Runs into the 20th century Sewers - now a feeding conduit. Encapsulated In a giant food processor - nothing is wasted The chains will be clean and Ready for the next harvest

A monument of brutality Razor like precision killing Eliminating wasted space Enforcers, executioners Heading the flock Cranial manipulation Synthesized organs Harvested for the wealthy Pulmonary bio-mechanics Combined with nano-enhanced body systems Unethical practices Creates the first superhumans A silent death at the hands of a synthetic beast A hand on the throat While the torso is evacuated First entire dwellings Then entire cities Wait to die at the hands Of Lord Cyborg Hybrid metal fist breaks through the rib cage Hydraulic fingers tear flesh Feeling their way through the cavity Reaching the heart and ripping it out Over and over again

Lifeless hands of the gods Are called to converge and Sacrifice themselves as fodder An existence of tireless deeds without question Impermanent and disposable Synced together by a low frequency They display immense algorithmic complexity Programmed with zero free will They wash over the land like A massive mechanized stampede Transporting nourishment In the form of liquefied human The meat is pureed with thousands of metal teeth The bodies are piled hundreds of feet high Left in the sun to 'ripen' Our decayed fat lubricates the machine They will be absorbed along with Their cache of nutrients at the source The machine eclipses mountains The drones extract the human fats and oils Before they themselves reach their end
