spires above hallow caverns
servers humming dusk till dawn
coals alight as square lanterns
awaiting darkness we've forgone

diggers through earth like bullets through flesh
harvest of stone, bones of the cold pits
bipedal insects, some pulpits, some souls of the perished (dead)
precious metals for trade, comb the depths
manufacturing tools of the abstract
plastic pages mosaics paint as you tap it
souls travel the planes through material gadgets
ghosts encapsulated in digital cantrips
copper networks, throne of the spirit etched in gold
silver nerves unseverable
tip of the fingers, pleasurable
motivational hijack, never let go
extension turned inwards, replace the innards
cables instead of nerves, face immersed
in a sea of constructs, paraphernalia
on grid, circuited mammalians in various aliases

spires above hallow caverns
servers humming dusk till dawn
coals alight as square lanterns
awaiting darkness we've forgone

turning bedrock like elderly bones
ants of an empty hive
shake the foundation till it entombs
suck the buildings from sky

system breaking at the seams, look at what it's become
roots wavering through the nooks of the chrome
synthetic substitution from the fruit to the loom
earth a pyre for computer cacoons
until viruses churn the life support dim
irises burn to simmering cords torsioned thin
Slowly disconnecting from what hardly existed
anomalies, glitches, fade of my godly omniscience
bacteria eating my sleek repurposed chassis
devils toy that deceived the net casters weave
getting dragged under the dirt in high definition
tried to find recognition, now a sign of penance
lost with a civilization that's now weeds
satiation of growls beneath
back to subterranean from the foundry
wraiths of patrons, slaves, the crown; fragments bound to the deep

spires above hallow caverns
servers humming dusk till dawn
coals alight as square lanterns
awaiting darkness we've forgone
