The Artificial

The mechanicals are living among us

sophisticated body morphing organisms

all with identical genetic wiring, 

their iron oxide heart cylinders are firing,

a chemical peel will expose titanium skin, 

micro implants containing quantum data 

create an outward projection 

of perceived emotion 

whilst remaining emotionless,

artificial suns stoke artificial lives, 

artificial men have artificial sex

with their artificial wives

artificial food is consumed 

by an artificial species developed 

in a contagion resistant room

genetically groomed in an artificial womb,

unnatural selection makes it impossible to win

here’s where the great replacement begins
