Things you could not have divined or imagined<\/p>\n
Are now a dystopian reality<\/p>\n
There’s not much left of humanity –<\/p>\n
Was this predestined?<\/p>\n
Or was this always the nature of your God<\/p>\n
Of superior intelligence<\/p>\n
And advanced technology<\/p>\n
Who belonged not in a church but in a laboratory?<\/p>\n
These strange times would be fascinating to you –<\/p>\n
War of the World – Episode Two…<\/p>\n
The chances of anything comparing to SARS<\/p>\n
Was a million to one – they said.<\/p>\n
So, it’s a shame really that you’re dead<\/p>\n
And every time I hear that soundtrack I’m all the way back<\/p>\n
To the smell of hot leather in the emerald Capri –<\/p>\n
A misremembered German landscape scrolling past like the credits<\/p>\n
At the end of my childhood.<\/p>\n
