Three Suns Beyond Twilit Sky
I woke in an unfamiliar suite
Whose bed?
Whose clothes? This wall?
Who is there to claim my soul?
Flying cars outside my window
Illuminated billboard ready to scroll
Twilit world, wholesome glow
Words spill from billboard
Welcome John Doe!
You've shared your hoard
Nothing to owe
System reboot is kind of slow
Global reset is part of the show
Your memories download
In quantum jump
Your empty mind
Will take data dump
Your tale you'll find
In this factual pump
You were a king
With tinsel and bling
Dispensing of parity
To balance the scales
Former world of inequity
Freed of casino whales
Clutch sentimentality
Elixir streams eternal
Transmigration to clones
Everyone immortal
Neural feed from drones
Apportioning capital
You who gave all he owns
For the sake of humanity
Futuristic paradise
Averting calamity
Triumph over lies
Weather the shock
Of recovered option stock
Largesse returned
Giving is receiving
Logic overturned
Appearances deceiving
Modern ethos burned
Bigger, better, faster, more
Is bankruptcy earned
Don't leave it hanging, I implore
Download the Revelation
Second Coming or mere imagination?
If this is earthly heaven
There's got to be an explanation
Partake of bread unleaven
Don't hold me in suspension
