Science and technology
slayers of myth and religion
succubus computers feed upon
the mortality of man and morals,
traces of humanity are left
strung out in cyberspace
stars burn vivid
when seen through a hole
punched in the sky
the sun hangs where
the hand places it
the crucifix is raised
but fails to
hold the weight of anything
sacred
rushing toward
a doomed prophecy
fate is both
hope and despair
-Gary Jurechka and John Sweet
circa 1999-2000(?)
