OH YOU CYBERPUNK REBELS

OH YOU CYBERPUNK REBELS

Oh you
cyberpunk rebels
hot stuff
   thorn in the side
mote in the eye
of all our dystopian futures

we love you now but
we are fickle, we
are controlled

power
snaps its fingers
and we come running
would come running
if we did
have legs
to stand on were
allowed mobility
at this futurepoint in time

and so
a slight change in inclination
here
    twist in attitude
what was reverence
admiration now
condemnation, call
for extermination

getting
hacked to pieces
everything that hacked in

and here you lie
according to plan
you
  on the table
plan what to do with you
on the table

somewhere inside all that
soft, lovely humanity,
a resource for
harvesting

requires brutal reaping

will be livestreamed.
