Who
looms ominous over the body of Gaia?
Metal
extendable hands prying open the lush vulva of Gaia—
Who
since 17th Century monomaniacal Descartes & Newton mind matter
clockwork
dogma—
brain doctors
still subscribe—who since rules?
And
secret global powers of military high-tech corporate control raise
up
in boardroom worship & plot the destiny of billions of
human souls—
Who
does world worship more than Jesus, Yahweh, Allah, Buddha, Shiva?
Who
shining titanium sheathed? Who titan of brave new microchip world?
All hail, Technos!
Technos,
new Superpower of Earth! bigger than
swallowing the
UN, shrinking the planet!
Technos
crisscrossing the skies in contrail self-proclaiming banners:
I am the new Superpower!
All hail, Technos! Technos rules!
Technos
on streetcorner, Technos in jungle, Technos at North
Pole
Technos
old industry, Technos post-industry, Technos social
engineering
Technos
highways, Technos in the office, Technos for the home
Technos
plastered all over media orgy 24 hours a day
Technos
doctors, Technos managers, Technos generals, Technos police
Technos
multi-appendages plowing & draining & drilling & cutting,
leveling all to
common denominator
Technos
brain tanks calculating & analyzing & projecting & managing,
executing its
Plan
Told
we were in 50s childhood,
Technos can do all things
Technos is mighty
Technos will save us
Praise Technos!
Praise the wonders of Technos!
Technos
in capsules & tablets, Technos liquid in a bottle
Technos
in cereal, Technos in soup, Technos in instant drink
Technos
making babies, Technos on the phone, Technos banking,
Technos while you sleep
Technos
adventure, Technos recreation, Technos fashion,
Technos sound & Technos rock
Technos
missiles smart as the eagle’s eye
Technos
in sex, orgasm on command
Technos
altered viruses for genecide conspiracy
Technos
in computer-video classroom, no more teacher
Technos
in finance consultation, your fate figured by numbers
Technos
in cyberspace Internet wired up RAM-powered kids
Technos
footprints left in Moon dust
Technos
sending human ego greeting beyond the solar system
To what end?
Will we be allowed
in outer space
to extend?
20th
Century one long ad & commercial for Technos,
billboard for Technos, now Internet millions of
Web sites for Technos—
To
this day still,
Technos will save us
Technos will save us
Understand
Technos alone will not save us
Technos will enslave us
Technos
will command implantable biochip unleashed armies
upon the
nations
Children
already held up & sacrificed in computer-driven rituals,
their mindsap spilled out on the altar of the monitor
Soon,
cyborg children of no memory will roam the streets
Our
citizens barcode wristed
& ELF psychotronic mind altered
Technos
satellites will know where you hide
Earth's
secret rulers secretly cloned could rule forever
Virtual
reality will be replaceable reality of choice
Gaia
ravaged & barren, every inch Technos
All
obedient to Technos
& no place for Psyche
But where danger is
grows the saving power also*
In
what Age Aquarius year will Psyche
face off with
Technos?
When
will Technos bow before Psyche,
admit to be
equal?
When
will Technos & Psyche
a divine syzygy
be?
