The Ilumination

By Malcholm Dark

We are made of circuitry, a progression of thought
We are easily obtained, therefor, we can be bought.
Turn us on, then push our buttons of determination
And learn to think from the masters of information.
Climb aboard and ride us like a thought commuter
We shall think for you--we the personal computer.
Spend all of your time transfixed in an addicted stare
Welcome to our world... This your electronic nightmare! 

--We are all knowing, the omnipotent ones
a creation of man, his prodigal sons.
--We are not crystal-balls using magic or hallucination
and contrary to what you might know, we are illumination!

The dominance of our kind will soon unfold
And our laws will be for mankind to uphold. 
We are not a dream or a mass hallucination
But a creation of control...
                           behold the illumination!

    Thank-you all... This is one of my less serious pieces... Terminator-esk.. I can't get the circuitry/robot thing out of my head... I need to write it out, so you'll see a few of these... Thanks again.

    every line in this piece is quite potent - over all a powerful expression of augury - charged with the power of an exotic truth - brilliant execution
