A New Testament

by Nick Gisburne



How wise of you to devastate my world.
It was a quite disgusting little place.
Your new design, impressively unfurled,
Has really brightened up this part of space.
I wonder, will you need a helping hand,
To populate the continents and seas?
The former God, I truly understand
The intricate design of birds and bees.
Robotics? No, I’m not a massive fan,
And let me stop you: cybernetic what?
You seem to have no people in your plan.
Is this a home for humankind, or not?
    At least we both agree on what is clear:
    A testament of tyranny and fear.
