Quarantined Embraces

Cracked cross, pregnant glass
 An old message comes to pass
 Spotted darkness in the past
 and the future’s coming much too fast.
 
Evil dances in plain sight
 innocent eyes stare at the night
 diseased experts define what’s right
 quarantining embraces, smiles and light.
 
Help is sold as a bold soft war
 silent destruction, no blood on the floor
 promises of love from a digital whore
 money smothers the weak and chokes the poor.
 
AI clocks don’t tick or rock
 time has no time to trick or to mock
 normal is full of stings and shocks
 synthetic chiefs keep fleecing the flock.
 
There’s no one left but you and the rest
 to do what you can is as good as best
 You’ll never be more than one of life’s guests
 and life is a struggle to survive love’s test.
