Pyrrhic Victory

The brain recoils, what’s real, unreal?
Shaping the mind with drugs and zeal
(Slow decline)

Knowledge of all, the laser reveals
A shattering glimpse of reality concealed
(The harp of nihilism)
(The twang of the void)

From space above beamed down from God
Dual minds conceive a true facade
(Misery and illness)

Pink light bombards the lightning rod
A chosen vessel, a brain so flawed
Perpetually occluded
A husk, an uninhabited corpse
Rationalize cognitive collapse
Dementia, apparition of the divine

The child can see all
Warmth emanates from her being
The satellite is the vessel
Technology, the demigod, is the way
