Gaze upon these glowing high-rises at night
and behold the red towers of the Matrix
Where the machines harvest lifeblood
from unknowing humans
blissfully plugged into “reality” services
and digital Metaverses
Witness the energy waves
cobwebbing up-and-down
as humans enjoin
the Machine’s cortex
The only reprieve is the Big Top Circus
where denizens of the Matrix
pay to see freaks
flipping up-and-down
Step right up, view the freaks and savages!
witness what it’s like to be alive
Just for a few hours though
soon you must return
to your tower
for maximum energy-harvesting is near
The time has grown late
now fall back and relax
into your red glowing pod
and sleep
