anthrospray - act 1

we build the scaffolds of nihilism.
our unlatched fantasies transformed the world into
an abandoned oasis of knowledge
a smart slum.

The Rape Of Demeter

wheat mutagen , sustainer of civilization ,
oh Demeter, we have seen your destruction.
your body floating in a river of taurine and CG.
your soul decimated by the metallic hum
of a million bitcoin mines.

when you implanted your dream inside the nomadic mind,
we were raw material for your kingdoms.
in your anthropogenic cities we found our caves,
of hyper individualism and decadence.
in time your morphological children,
have become the slave and god of their own food chain,
and we wish to now subjugate nature to the chaos of our deranged will!

our individuality: a tumorous, golden calf,
in a virtual landscape of limitless enterprise
and myriad decadences.
I am sustained now by V.R., taurine and fidget spinners,
and I see Demeter on the gallows.
civilization burns in the reflection of the oculus rift.

in advanced culture stage
we turn back to agrarian musings.
yet what neurotic perceptions,
have they developed in their minds
about the natural earth, from inside their urbanite caves?

I turn my gaze on the land..
I reject history and lower Demeter into her chasm of blood.
the gluten intolerant seeks an agrarian awakening
that renders the pillars of civilization into a simulacra

you have wrought us into vectors of disease
by bringing us together

3D printed gluten free wheat kernels
impregnate the soil and erodes the foundation of civilization.
with our newly found barbarian hands,
we sowed the seeds of rejection,
mankind’s world system and artificial sustenance marks the soil.

Autistic Earth Prisoners

enslaved neural network.
automated limbs, grind our scaffolds into 3D printed Babels
they used to pound grains, now they render recycled cement into our smart slums.
the evolution of the slave, from human to machine to neural network.
