Micro-processed Man
By Malcholm Dark
I was
gifted at birth and given a fantastic intellect
I rose above all
men mentally, but only in that respect.
As for my body, it was weak
and always sickly
And at forty-one I found myself dying quickly.
On the wings of angels, toward heaven's gate I did fly
But, great
minds of science would not allow my brain to die.
So I rose above
the ashes of my body's decay
Above all men again, eleven feet tall
that day!
--My soul is lost forever within this endless dream
synthesized and computerized, a creation of machine.
--Born of
flesh and once a man, God help me understand
a metallic body is
now envisioned...
behold, micro-processed man!
A rage of terror covers
the earth as aliens descend
The armies of the world fold, mans'
will begins to bend.
I arise from the mayhem like a giant metal
flower
And into incredible odds I unleash god like powers.
So our world is again secure, the great deed was served
Though
the stares they shower upon me, have me unnerved.
A planet lives
in fear, their chaotic thinking most unkind
I was once human as
you, not some creation by Frankenstein!
--My soul is lost forever
within this endless dream
synthesized and computerized, for I am now
machine.
--Born of flesh and once a man, God help me if you can
a metallic body is now savage derision...
behold, micro-processed man!
With fear upon fear
earth's people have gone wild
I must protect myself from the once
meek and mild.
Their minds are of children, incompetent and unsound
They cannot be trusted, so I cannot have them around.
Cities of
the world fall flat like high-ways being paved
I monster, I--vanquished
a people that once was saved!
The dust and smoke settles, comes
a call of cool air
I search the world for life, there is no one
anywhere.
--My soul is lost forever within this endless dream
synthesized and computerized, forevermore a machine.
--Born of flesh
and once a man, God has set the tone
the entire world is now my
prison...
behold, I am alone!

Excellent, even a possibility as unlikely as this, seems real to me through your words, I love the progression of how this man, being brought back from the brink of death, was a good thing, but then turned out to be humanity's undoing, very masterful write, of a very bleak future.

Yes, bleak indeed. Still, it is comic bookish than what I wanted... thanks for the reply.
