The Futures Red and Blue

I've tried to incorporate the 3 ideas into one poem (fly cycle, red and blue and I would like the reader to think manga sci fi as they read it!)

The Future’s Blue and Red

I woke with energy 

I felt a kind of synergy with my body 

Probably injected

Certainly unexpected

So, I got spray dressed and ate two pills for breakfast 

I looked at today's travelling restrictions 

This district fairly unaffected

I drew in the air my morning plan and submitted it to my government man

With a little justification, (i.e. business or vacation) 

I had permission to leave my home

Not only to leave, but to roam the skies above me

I got out my fly cycle

My I.D inserted into my foot 

Take off, I finally took 

The sea looked blue though of course I knew

It has no water in it

Our rulers had seen fit to stop the flooding

By filling it digitally 

There was nothing alive inside 

But when the tide died

The moon sighed so deep

The tremors woke me from my sleep 

Then it fell to earth with a crash

Killing half the population 

Now we just have far fewer nations 

With the whole world split in two 

We are either Red or Blue

The land looks green but my eyes are fake 

Replaced at birth 

They will only see the uploaded version sent to me

I don’t know if trees are really green

I just accept the beautiful scene below 

And turn right as I hear my alarm bellow

I must return in time 

Lateness a sign

Of rebellion and disrespect 

To our leaders which bots did elect 

I drift down towards my door

And enjoy the last moment 

I am sad I can’t have more 

Inside, I sign in with digital pen

And sleep

Sleep gives you points which contribute to free time 

I will have mine because I will toe the line 

My neighbour failed to do as told

I watched his body fold

As the poisonous gas filled him 

Till his eyes they bled

Till he collapsed 

Completely dead

They say these are the new human rights 

To keep us contained 

The right to inflict pain 

On those who challenge our laws 

The right to remove those who have chose

To speak out 

Be in no doubt 

You cannot keep peace 

Unless the rebels cease

Exploring alternative ways

Begging, imploring for change 

For now the rules remain

They imply it’s for you 

But the truth is they will do what they want 

It’s in small font on your birth certificate 

Signed by your parents you’d only just met

They agreed to relinquish their baby 

In the hope that maybe

They’d get another in exchange 

They waited but childless they remained

And I went to the highest bidder

Blue with a red sister 

It’s been fine 

It’s all I know

History is a big no, no

But when I dream at night 

I see strange things like birds in flight 

I see creatures of every shape and size

They can deny their existence and give us fake skies 

But my dreams don’t tell lies

And I believe it is those creatures that will return 

To trample and kick and peck 

It is fate

That they will be the ones to kill the rulers of this state 

They will rule the land 

Because I believe that 

Nature has a bigger plan 

A plan bigger than any man

It does not stop, continues to grow 

Even if powerful men say no 

It will not bend, not submit 

Nature will show its force bit by bit

Sharp teeth sunk in

Claws that tear throats

Animals massacring governments 

With fiery breath and eyes so intense 

Bodies ripped into, skin tore  

A frenzied man versus beast war  

Nature will win again and again 

And finally good will reign 

A simple four leaf clover will appear

To signify the war is over

Then nature will return to the lands and the seas 

There will be roaring, and barking and the buzz of bees

It is nature that will bring about man’s demise 

And once again fill the real skies

With clouds and birds and tree branches so high

I just hope I’ll survive to watch those birds fly
