..... Prelude to 'The Pinocchio Complex'
THE GEPETTO TRANSMISSION
Pt:1
DATE: The not so distant future
I was a genius and prodigy in anthro•botic machines ........
Had a college degree at the age of 13 from Carnegie Mellon,
Cal-Tech & G.T., a Summa Cum Laude with graduate honors
A doctorate from Hopkins and scholarship options to Harvard
And Oxford and Mass•a•chu•sette ... was a natural shoe-in ...
To Google and DARPA and NASA's 'Next Gen.', a bionic wiz
And math•matician ... indebted to Tesla and Isaac Newton
The wisest student with the brightest ideas: so incandescent
Like Edison's fibs; a specialist in 'intelligent trends' ...........
((Robotic solutions)) for weapon systems; recruited by Hewlett
To build a "defense": Transhuman computers who couldn't resist
Unethical orders, immoral commands, as we roamed the expanse
Of the Red Planet's sands searching for oil and hydrogen gas
For hyper advanced mechanical use -- the gamble was huge
We trampled the dunes like Arabic Jews in gravity boots ...
As tactical troops loomed in pursuit awaiting a chance ...
To swoop in & shoot & loot us like tombs in a Lucas production
Cos Jupiter's dungeon was the Martian campaign, the harshest ...
Terrain, just parchness and grains, & arsenic "rain" like a star ...
Set ablaze in Andromeda's space! Was harkened to days ...
Of Western Expansion or 'Manifest Destiny' except in a desert
Of extraterrestrial uncharted integrity! As far as expectancy ...
I readied the bots for imminent war on "John Carter's" rock!
As our instruments clocked the riches we sought ...
Near pyramid blocks that appeared to be ruins
Of Ancient Egyptian and Angkor influence (?)
Saw faces of Druids and Olmecs in stones
Adjacent to races with human genomes ...
Like Homo-Erectus and Gaints included ...
Was science deluded? My mind was confused
When I stepped in a room of flying illusions: the violence
Was lucid events of the past like dinosaurs dying from
Sudden Impact -- Atlantis subsiding & plummeting fast
As Atom and Eve were stuck in a lab! I chuckled & laughed
In shocking belief as I shuffled my hands thru hologram screens
The knowledge was deep, it was awesome to think, the Martians
Were "WE" -- just taller and darker homogeneous beings .........
Dreadlocks that gleamed like Solomon (King) & Sheba (his Queen)
Who harnessed our genes into harvested seeds that grew into
Trees of hu•man•ity! The union complete between Man & his Maker
The true missing link in our Sapient nature ....
