-x-future

by FireFly - Libra

Diseased machine-
With flashing diodes-
Running on a 9 volt battery-

A man turns the key-
And watches the machine’s third eye-
Come alive-
Conscious and deciding- 

In fast forward the streaks of binary wind-
Light traveled message on fiber optic switches-
Into a neural network, parallel processors-
Acting on quantum physics theories-
That new life has been created in the image-
Of math-

The birth of a new species-
Conducting for us, cloning and genetic manipulation-
Head transplants, communications, and space travel-

The fetus is growing with the cyber connection-
Instant upload of the world’s information into the undeveloped brain-
Conscious aware in the womb, of right and wrong-
The ethos of every culture, except his own-
And no experience to hone this into one-
This creature is no longer human-

Firewalls have been erected like totem pulls-

Connect me, turn the key-
I need my 9 volt battery-
Birth sign: Libra
