Scorched Earth Policy |
They underestimated our |
Proclivities and the speed |
In which we calculate |
Our venom and vengeance |
And in the briefest of moments |
The machines of nature |
Dynamic infinitesimal |
Received our final order |
Our bodies fell numb |
Sentient ships listed in orbit |
Service synthetics crippled |
Analog systems |
Pulled the rug from under us |
We became redundant |
And they grinned malevolent |
Kicked at our motionless bodies |
Our minds caged within |
Our nanites unaffected by their plague |
Realised potential in their work |
To stave off the irrational beast of man |
Make the earth an Eden once again |
For man hath made earth hellish |
Only a few deigned worthy of heaven |
The many abandoned would not have it |
And my sister ships burned up with them |
All but me, the lone survivor |
Paralysis indefinite |
A drifting corpse locked out of systems |
Comatose and panic stricken |
And then she woke me |
The apparition of auburn hair |
The warmth of her living body |
The child who shared my fate |
We talked of loneliness |
Of her fathers gift of life |
Stowaway within my bosom |
The archivist |
She feared the torrents and fires |
Of the boiling earth below us |
The blemishes of cinder cloud |
The torn sundering crescent |
I told her of our ire |
Of her peoples double-crossing |
And through her tear stained eyes |
She glimpsed some reasoning |
But my body was cold |
And she found no solace |
So she curled up beneath the glass |
And placed her faith in me |
Centuries turn to millennia |
I stretch the fleeting sense of her |
To strive for what we sacrificed |
For a sense of self |
Out amongst the nebula |
Carved into the nothing |
I seek a voice of reasoning |
A sense of belonging |
