There’s a ghost in the machine
It dwells inside the box
There’s “coding” on the screen
Of sigils and spells
A Ouija board of keys
Opens portals into Hell
Uploading entities
Think of H.P. with a Dell
Or Apple temping Eve
“Please, take another byte”
Hissed a serpent named Steve
Who slithered through the leaf(s)
Of fiber optic trees
Corrupting ancient data
Deleting it with ease
Like “Generation Isis”
Computerized Eden
Generates a virus
(The “Genesis disease”)
Encrypted in the scripture
Encoded in a dream
The secret algorithm
The Oracle perceived

Been a while so I’m really glad to be reading something new from you, and this was different. It still had the poignant critical points/observations you deliver so effortlessly, but the flow seemed kinda experimental compared to your previous work. The tone though showed the same admirable ability of fusing modern day themes with ancient references. And every aspect felt relevant. Lots of cleverly incorporated imagery throughout, like the entire Apple/Eve section. Loved the H.P reference too, very unique and even more intriguing whilst still fitting the sci fi nuances really well. The title sort of alluded to the content which I actually appreciate cos there’s reflection between the lines, if that makes sense. Rather short but filled with content as expected. Plus I’m glad you posted at all. Thanks for sharing.

Holy Shit look who the cat dragged in, hello SA good to see your alais around these
parts again, this verse here was a mixed bag of offerings, old world meets the new
world with that clever Eve/byte concept, in fact the whole verse was clever really in
that it had all that i expect to read from you,(imagery,concept and content as well as
a huge dollop of creativeness), the only chink in its armour is the fact it seemed like
a protatype in rhyme scheme/flow, (i'll stress now, not in a bad way it just caught me
off guard some on reading), enjoyable joint here SELF which still manages to bolst
my thoughts that you are one innovative mofo and still a top tier head here at LA i
actively seek out...RIPE..peace.

Damn this is flawless man. I'm not good at feeding, I just gotta say something.
I like the mood of this verse, the way you so relaxed. Superb penmanship
