Hey Brute!

Hey Brute!
Not for a fraction of second
Left me unfettered so far.
Together with your insanity,
I’ve been drifting since your
Legacy dawned on this orb.

Long ago I strived a lot
And held a speech on your chops.
Soon after thou held sway in the earth
For uncountable years,
My arms were twisted
And I was reigned by divine creeds.

Underlining was your onus,
Mastery was my decree.
Though enraged by that wild venture,
Trust bonded me with you
Letting pietism absorb the itsy-bitsy part of me,
we tore up centuries.

Ahh! It’s my err then,
How did I turn sightless to your folly?
It was the thirst for mechanics
And I did let you quench it.
Diving into the world of machines,

You vanquished my liberty.

My fate now turned over
From master to slave,
From brain to a drain.
Your single urge obliged me,
To triumph this world, and
Expand disloyal sovereignty.

Employing my potential
Religion was sanctioned.
Machines and numbers,
Eke out an existence.
I was put into the service,
To blow away boundless lives.

Overtired wondering about this globe,
Now, you are seduced
By the outer world.
Already a long way to space,
To planets, black hole, aliens
Are ordered to be engulfed by me.

Together we kicked off the trip.
You outstretched my arms,
Made yourself a genius.
Yet, you haven’t got anything,
Rather, clutched amidst ample and vain.

Hey human! When’ll you free this enslaved brain?
