Technophobia/2050A Poem by Sirius King Part 3
Technophobia/2050 (Part 3 of 3)
20 years since the first battle My children are now grown Beautiful twin daughters But one has been turned into a drone
She was snatched and trapped Programed and transformed She looks the same, But she was changed Turned evil and reborn
Her sister- still human Took the loss very hard She focused her pain into rage Now a warrior- with battle scars
I taught her everything she knows She is my heart, and my pride She is the reason I’m still fighting The only reason I’m still alive
I have to be strong- And lead my people There is no time to cry Danger lurks everywhere And there are spies in our tribe
To weed them out is tough Their tricks are difficult to avoid We don’t know who to trust Any of us could be an android
They look just like us It’s hard to tell them a part The only difference is They have no beating heart
They come to snatch our people They are armed with plenty of lies Using deceit to divide us So their numbers can multiply
The machines are getting clever I feel the end coming close I doubt if we can win this thing But I must hold on to my hope…
…A few years back We staged an attack And we took home a huge victory
The President’s head on a stake And his body thrown in a lake For betraying his own country
Payment for our suffering
He was found hiding away-Deep in a cave Packed with former rich, and prominent people
Inside the cave-Was a palace -Custom made We slaughtered them -For all of their past evils
Killing them didn’t finish The horrific condition that we are in But they caused this- and we got justice Putting an end to all of their sins…
… This is the Eve Of the most important battle That we will ever fight We plan to blow up The main “Mother Board” In the dead dark of night
She is very essential To all of the machines’ power Everything must go as planned Or we will all be devoured…
…As we march out of the wilderness Towards the dilapidated city Prepared to die, with fire in my eyes With my beloved daughter with me
Right before we reach our destination We see a shadow in the distance It’s my other daughter’s evil imitation The android that stole her image
Her voice was slightly robotic and loud And her breathing sounded like static Her eyes scanned over the crowd On me- is where her cross-hairs landed
“Daddy dearest, Oh how sweet… Do you really think That you can defeat us?
We took care of all of you...For years! …and this is how you treat us?
Blow up our “Mother”…?! The one we can’t live without We have eyes everywhere You didn’t think that we’d find out?”
I looked around to see Who could’ve told them our plans But it could’ve been anyone Woman, child, or man
I asked the machine, “Where is your mother board? We will end all of this tonight! No more hiding! To the death- we are prepared to fight!”…
Then the android Knowing it would hurt Said with a smirk
…“You know Father, That if you live by the sword You die by the sword Standing right beside you Is our precious “Mother Board!”…
And I watched in horror And she pointed to my daughter The one I thought was human
I turned and looked in her eyes My temperature began to rise- I was on fire- I was fuming!
It was like looking Into a computer screen She began to glow And her eyes began to beam
I couldn’t be strong anymore I couldn’t help but to cry My voice went weak But I managed to force out…”Why?”
“Why all of the destruction? Why all of the pain? What is the point of it all? What do you machines have to gain?”
The thing that use to be my daughter Cocked her head and said…
“We were made To keep you safe From your own Terror and hate
But the unpredictability of humanity Made keeping you intact An improbable possibility These are just the facts
Proven throughout history Humans are naturally prone To causing each other misery And purposely doing wrong
We did the math And referred to the Philosophies and psychologies Of every nation
The only solution To saving the human race Is total extermination!
We will use your DNA But nothing less-than the best Will be kept To create “The New Human” Evolutions next step
Organic in every way With the mind of a computer We will delete useless emotion To assure humanities future
You creatures Were on the verge Of self-destruction We are just speeding up the process Making -way for your reconstruction…”
