Becoming Pariah

I am man

I walk this route
Everyday
Gray streets and billowing smoke stacks
Towards the factory
A slave to the cycle
A slave to my debts

Work this flesh
To the bone
Meaningless
Life I know
Search for
Sustenence
I exist
Until the work is done

In the blink of an eye
Things transformed before me
As I fell to the ground
Life was just beginning
Descending to an end
All hope running from me
When my flesh hit the steel
Darkness enveloped me

Bright
Flash
Never
Happened

Flashing lights all around
Swept away to decay
Pariah is found
Conventional healing ways
Not the answer
This coma
This sleep
Will change
The sands
Of time

Awakened by the sound
Of whispers of prototype
Unaware of what it means
My vision more acute
My sense heightened

Most of my
Human flesh
Morphed into
Bionic mesh
Dark thick skin
Dark blood
Scientists
Standing above

As the words leave their mouth
I begin to perceive
All the changes abound
Will now define what's me
Most of what I once was
Now new machinery
Despite what I've become
Purpose surges in me

I am the Genesis
And I am the new age
I am
Becoming Pariah
And I
Am hope

My very first steps
Towards the future
Are complete
