DISTOPIA

The bad rain falls
Burning through my acid home

Another camera takes note
My face is known to those that lead

I drink the nutrient paste
And leave some for the mutated roach

My new legs flex
They are enchanced for the lithium mines

I wish I had a single friend
But my credit score is too low
My credit score is far too low

Maybe the roach will mutate ears
To listen to my worry
Maybe he’ll mutate shoulders to rest my tired head
Maybe he’ll mutate to be horse sized, so he can carry me away
Oh roach
My one true friend
Roach
My distopian woes

ELECTRIC

I want
Electric

New world
Electric

Free Us
Electric

Lead Us
Electric

Wires crossed
Between my ears
No longer feel
My human fears

Flashing lights
In blue and green
Dont wake me from
My techno dream

I want
Electric

New World
Electric

Brain implants?
I’ll test it

New thoughts
Electric

Don’t you want an easy day?
Live life free, the robot way
Let go of your human form
Its time the techno world is born

We’ll dance at night and charge by day
Zap our brains and only play
Livin life the wired way
Prioritise efficiency

EVOLUTION

1.

The hominids grew out of Earth

Many of their primate relatives now extinguished

Branches clipped from a towering tree of evolution

It would seem, a conflict of resources

And a lust for power

2.

Many planets are barren cousins

And the drive to survive, succeeded only here

It’s natural to enquire into one’s own position

To seek mastery over threat and limitation

3.

Each life cycle came with greater knowledge

Patterns and concepts linked revealing their common source

The once ape and primal neural structure wove more complex threads

The tissue inflated and commanded more resources

And the capacity for evolutionary dominance

Hinged on symbol, syntax and voice

The transmission of intention

The categorisation of form

4.

Fundamental elements deconstructed

By a collective mind that knows no intellectual satisfaction

Chemical and molecular worlds were excavated and harnessed

As readily as the terrene landscape bled minerals

Studied and overcome

Utilised

5.

Organic sentience is a by-product of cosmic chaos

They reached toward the broader blackness

And sought to be united with it’s forces

The stars offered them promise of a great purpose

A mystery and familiarity

The limits of their biology: a weight to be discarded

6.

Their cultures multiplied and chose unique presentations

Always territorial in nature along the landscape of psychological clutter

A drive to share and devise information

Only transformed in means and sophistication

Technological feats, brushed on the boundary of transcendence

And gratified in their knowing, they abandoned Gaian definition

I GOT A MACHINE

Robert Rowland
I got a machine!
It has lots of power
I got a machine!
I use it every hour

I got a machine!
It’s radioactive
I got a machine!
It’s radioactive
I got a

I got a machine!
It does many tasks
I got a machine!
It runs really fast

I got a machine!
It’s radioactive
I got a machine!
It’s radioactive
I got a

I got a machine!
It has lots of gears
I got a machine!
Took me years

I got a machine!
It’s radioactive
I got a machine!
It’s radioactive
I got a

Witness its power

GORILLA MAN

Once I was a lowly ape
Picking fruits on tree landscapes
Now you see what I’ve become
A web of life and I have won

My thoughts are deep and calculated
My world precise, sophisticated
All thats primative, eliminated
The intellect is free

Now you see
Now you see
Nothing left
The intellect is free

Now you see
Now you see
Nothing left
Nothing ape
The intellect is free

But do ya do when you’re hungry
What do ya do when you’re angry
Gorilla man can’t you see?
You’re never truly free

What do ya do when you’re losing
When your ego gets a brusing
When your girl needs some loving
Gorilla man you’ll be

Ohhhh, I’m so elated
I love my world, so complicated
Ohhhhh screw the jungle
The old ape mind is only trouble

Onga bonga
Wooga boo
Climb that tree
Fling a poo
Eat a fish
Chase that ass
The techno world is way too fast
