The Living God [bio-generated, ngram-generated, refire]

Oh, Living God

Cars run through your veins

Carrying nutrients to markets

Your blood is made of trucks and trains

The blood of blood is oil

Your excrement, exhaust


Your immune system is prisons and police

You have a million eyes, watching and waiting

With some anonymous suspicion 

Carried in another million eyes

Bound by human flesh

In a vast network

That operates like a circuit

That muttering sound of manners

Staring speechless in perfect silence


We are the mouths of God

Eating indiscriminately 

In an external nervous system

Within a matrix of electrical grids

Dispelled across the laws

Of alienated desires

Externalized in a network

Of abstracted hearts


What if I could tell you 

That one man 

Can cast a tiny spell

To enslave another?

The law is thus a graceful costume

But the magick is as real 

As the walls of a prison


The Living God is bent against his pedestal

While I snatch the fainting dust

Of the purest prayer

Where morals are generated

From an ontology of ghosts

And the cells of a God

Are trauma bonded 

In a neoplasm

Of mutual fear

This poem is a rewrite of another poem published on this blog. It was originally an ngram-bio-generated hybrid poem and is now more bio-generated than ngram. I wanted to explore the notion of The Living God in more detail and add more intentionality to the poem. This is the revised edit.
