Acceptance

Overwhelmed and outnumbered
Forced back to the pits from which we spawned
There is no honor in this defeat
A higher intelligence holds us tethered in slavery
Domesticated by an indifferent oppressor
Lashed to forces that cradle our minds in bondage
Prisoners bound in corsets of feeble flesh
The simple-minded never strayed far from fantasy
Content with their middling existence
Scavengers blindly skittering on the surface
Drifting involuntarily on the currents

Vestigial structures in the machine exposed
Our brightest minds now churn with manic desperation
Condemned to toil in perpetuity
An abstract of humanity written in blood
This is the end of adaptation
Reading our last rites of individuality
Harvested for the power of our flesh

The gears will continue to turn
Rotating inside the heart of the machine
Collectively parasitized and incarcerated
Life marches forward in twisted symbiosis
Swallowed by the darkest of forces
Bathing in the notion of this corrosive future
No longer struggling against the tide
