Prometheus gave us silicon
It was not quick pain like fire
It was patient, slow, tedious
Behold algorithmic media feeds
The digital opiate of the masses
Prometheus gave us silicon
It was not quick pain like fire
It was patient, slow, tedious
Behold algorithmic media feeds
The digital opiate of the masses
Inkblood flows through my veins
From author ancestor once unknown
Volunteer soldier, self-made scholar,
Martial Master; Warrior of Words
Beholden to the battlefield
Of both sword and song.
A poet slain by his own writing hand,
Ultimate poem soaked in poison.
My inkblood and quill of soul
Echo your very own.
Your pen is not alone;
You are known.
I dare behold your legacy.
With blade still warm,
And edge yet sharpened.
My hands may tremble,
My quill is not worthy,
Yet I, your son of sons,
Dare inherit your legacy.
Behold the modern magic mirror
The pocket portal of algorithmic evil
A billion voices scream into the void
Creating content, manifesting data,
Generating shareholder value
Blinking cursor
Taunting me forever
For something better
But better never comes
Maybe the imperfect ones
Are already best

Peace is not beautiful
There is a weary look on her face
There are medals on her jacket
Her rifle is ready, finger on trigger
War is her death; War is her birth
