Pyrrhic Victory - Usnea

The brain recoils, what’s real, unreal?

Shaping the mind with drugs and zeal

Slow decline

Knowledge of all, the laser reveals

A shattering glimpse of reality concealed

The harp of nihilism, the twang of the void

From space above Beamed down from God

Dual minds conceive A true facade

Misery and illness

Pink light bombards the lightning rod

A chosen vessel, a brain so flawed

Perpetually occluded, a husk, an uninhabited corpse

Rationalize cognitive collapse

Dementia, apparition of the divine

The child can see all

Warmth emanates from her being

The satellite is the vessel

Technology, the demigod, is the way
