Perhaps

Lifepoems

When I look into the mirror
I seem to recognise the face which I see
It looks like me, is it me
A mask to myself is what I see
So careful in its planning
Hard to imagine just how it was conceived
Knowing but unknowing on how it is to be
As if two samples were laying on a dish
One injected into the other
A short time after we see a clone
A clone not exact in likeness
Similar in its features, distinctive in its blindness
Reproduction has taken place
We are all atoms, chemical reactions
Bodies built up with all these things we study in our classrooms
So is it wrong to say that perhaps we have been simulated
That we have been a product of that injection, just on a larger scale
Purposely faltered to dispose of ourselves in time to come
Perhaps an experiment gone wrong, a random strain that chose to remain
Bacterial lifeforms which are created by our hand
Can they see beyond their contaminated strain
Is the dish to them as vast as our land
The sky above them but to us just a hand
Created life, how are we scoring levels
Is a life a life immaterial of its breathing
Or are we judging purely on seeing is believing
So quickly they will breed unknowing in their greed
Similar in its strength to that of strains we know as disease
Just like HIV, a varying combination of these
Somehow now it roams across our planes unstoppable in its mass
Unrelenting in its path, absorbing and destroying all it comes into contact with
This sounds so familiar does it not
Is this not what we are all doing, but just unknowing
Death is the cure which is still ignored
Have I been deceived right from the start
From a baby’s pure white breath
Contracting in only one day the weight of the heavens
Whoever has caused this experiment to continue
Will one day decide that it’s just not worth it
Maybe this has already happened
Perhaps we are all discontinued strains, rejected by our maker
Useless in our purpose, just left to roam the land

| Fantastic... yes, fantastic! I sometimes wonder who I would be if what I had absorbed had been quite different! It's true that life itself is our maker but I do believe that someone or something set the ball rolling in the first place and I also believe that we are far too interesting to abandon!! (perhaps that's conceited in the eyes of our God, hope not!) Keep this style of writing up tom, it really does hit the spot! |
