And man-kind will prevail

A kind of man

Bloated flesh swelling

Beneath the thin membranous skin

Stunted shrivelled limbs

Draped in clammy folds

Twitching hands emerging

Three quivering weedy fingers

I a single knuckle

Nails in long flaky curls

No opposable thumb

Blind eyes stare

Behind fused lashless eyelids

Pebble teeth in soft gums

Dormant tongue silent larynx

Malleus incus stapes

Fused deaf to sound

Outside the wondrous virtual environment

Where humans still can walk

Robotic hands inserts drip

Conveyor delivers food sacks

The creature grows

The waste pump activates

Foetus grows

In artificial gestation sack

Born onto chute

Delivered to console

Pneumatic hand inserts drip

Wires into designer reality

virtual green earth

perpetual daylight

abundant water

no rain

twenty-three degrees celsius

blue sky

three white clouds

Men haul floor length cocks

Women gyrate with wasp waists

Ten fingers ten toes

Purchase voice

Chemical orgasm injection

Activate DNA exchange

Propagating the brain-sack farm

For the survival of the race

To preserve the mass consciousness

Of the passive mind-creatures

That dream of sex and war

No longer mammal

The last generation

Now a century old

Were the first generation

born without egg or ***rm

The earth outside

Belongs to order blattodea

One foraging insect

crawls in the ##ver factory

Global shut-down

Brain-sack extermination
