I met the proud human race from wide range
and they were building the ultimate change
its unveiling was set for the next night
dust particles rushing around spot lights
it waited there patiently to be shown
the specifics within were little known
it would change the world with its power seen
it was the great anti-chaos machine
its creation – hundreds of working years
toil, trial and error and enduring tears
models were erratic and many failed
but the humans ever-determined – hail
fully enclosed in a smooth silver shell
the orb to stifle the fires of hell
humans gathered from around the great sphere
expecting the cleansing of all they feared
switched on now, it began to buzz and whirr
the pristine life was what they waited for
whole holding its breath, earth’s changes began
life anew -- the expectation of man
it was then, the screaming incased the earth
nothing like the daydreams of endless mirth
chaos woven into each human thread
weaving earth’s demise and spinning the dead
