System Cell


Excerpts from the poetry collection "System Cell" by S.M.Lie,web edition Mx, Holeman Press.

 



The Truth

Well, you made your choice,
and now your down here looking for truth.

But truth left by the backdoor,
the minute you walked in the door.

And on the shores of your sanity
you lost your battle with humanity.

The Wound

The wound,
that runs so deep,
it won't bleed.

The pain so intense,
that you don't notice ...
it's presence.

Still your hurt
suffering in ignorance of
what
whom
where
and
when.
-

When your young

When your young
you feel like ...
number one.

Now your old and
your feeling
s'old.
Just
doing as your told.
Trying to fit a
stereotyped mould.
-

The Padlock

She got a pad-lock through her heart
locked with a secret combination
No man can ever understand.
everbleeding
forever bleeding
heart.

In Queue IQ

They swapped nature for plastic
Social life for interactive entertainment
Reality for virtuality
And now they're all standing in queue
with their high IQ.

Death

Deep Dark Death
clings to your face
and won't let go.

Outside
The eternal sun is shining

Outside

Outside

The sun is shining
Outside.

You give in
and breathe in
One last terminal breath of death.

The Monster

The creation
became bigger
than it's creators.

So they became scared
and tried to undo
the damage done.

But they couldn't agree ...
to destroy their own
mind puppet.

So they were all swallowed.
And they will never be free
until they get together again,
and create something even bigger ...
that can swallow their first creation.
-

Warped

Time started perspiring, and
Space began to tremble, and
The water went dry, and
The colours became invisible, and
The Mountains lost their height, and
The Sun was blinded, and put on Ray-Bans, and
Sound went deaf-dumb, and
Movement moved away, and
Gravity lost weight, and
The wind lost its cool, and
The light wouldn't shine,
    cause it were afraid of the darkness, and
The Darkness took tranquilizers,
    cause it were afraid of being alone, and
The Universe collapsed with a heart-attack.
