The Geppetto Transmission
 

The not so distant future

I was a genius and prodigy in anthro•botic machines
Had college degrees at the age of thirteen
From Carnegie Mellon, Cal-Tech and 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 wouldn'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 scavenging brutes
Loomed in pursuit awaiting a chance to swoop in and shoot
And loot us like tombs in a Lucas production
Cos Lucifer's dungeon was the Martian campaign
The harshest terrain, just parchness and grains
And arsenic rain like a star set ablaze
In Andromeda's space! Was harkened to days
Of Western Expansion and 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 and plummeting fast
As Atom and Eve were stuck in a lab
I chuckled and laughed in shocking believe
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) and Sheba (his Queen)
Who harnessed our genes into harvested seeds
That grew into trees of hu•man•ity
Reunion complete between Man and his makers
The true missing link in our Sapient nature

To be continued ...
