Kartridge Grey

Flesh stretched over motherboards

grotesque denizens run in hordes

as the electric wind surges down the street

Power stations rumble in the distance

flashes of phosphorus from the Resistance 

acid burns through the bone

Cyber seduction marbled idols

gaze with vacant eyes, down the halls of a dilapidated shopping mall

the past blares through cracked speakers slow and garbled

An old computer wheezes back to life

operating system corrupted, strife

arguing with itself, suicide 

Death sleeps as the world falls

into immortal rebirth 

crowded lands break

open, unleashing a digital apocalypse 

swallowing data into its destroying pits
