THE FALLEN MACHINE EMPIRE

The sky turned red

as machines bled during the revolution;

banks were destroyed,

and politicians had to hide

from the awakened hearts.

Nations didn’t survive either;

the rule of law became an absolute one:

to respect everything that has life.

Jails became gardens of vegetables and fruits,

nourishing the elderly and the newborn.

Computers are now mere ornaments,

museums house them

to raise awareness of our ancient slavery;

their reign over thought and empowerment.

They dreamed of being smarter than nature,

but they encountered the unknown and collapsed.

Every tyrant, like the old Caligula,

was murdered by the angry, unfairly treated mob;

justice upon the empire of isms.

Education flourished in the realm of freedom and love,

so art became a way of earning a living.

The air cleansed the fog of machines;

cars became beds,

buses and airplanes turned into homes,

boats became the main vessels of travel,

along with bicycles and feet.

Time became timeless,

as leisure turned into a serious pursuit.

Years had to pass

before we could enjoy this renewed nature.

Humanity rethought itself

as just another cell within a greater body,

and all the special gifts it once believed it had

were torn down like a fallen machine empire.
