Silver minarets rising high
above the emerald city's walls,
shining so brilliantly in the noon's sun,
creating starburst reflections
that pierce the orange air.
Megalopolis capital of one world government
floating ten miles above the earth
landscape littered
with rusty brown industrial complexes,
trees and foliage destroyed decades ago,
oceans having turned magenta
from toxins dumped daily into waters.
Purple saucers sail effortlessly
through the dense atmosphere,
docking with minarets
beings dressed in golden space suits
fly out of opening in the side
and past through the slot
which appears in the tower.
Below, on the city's cinnamon avenues,
hundreds of denizens
dressed in ebony armor
follow the telepathic commands
coming from the council of seers
who are the powers ruling the world.
They dwell in a tower of pure amber light
creatures that came from another planet,
that quickly gained dominion over the planet.
Transforming it over to a likeness
of their doomed alien world,
now Lords of all creation.
That replaced their own robotic life forms
by possessing mortal bodies.
Trapping humans souls and minds
inside metallic cyber creations
where they served without a voice.
Aliens finally discovering life and passions,
humans gaining a world at peace,
utopian craved and dreamt for ages,
a reality, but mankind to controlled to celebrate.
