The following poem was found on the body of a suspected Natural terrorist, following a Bureau of Religious and Ideological Acceptance raid on a slum.
We had little choice but to comply,
Conform, obey, Integrate or die
They shut down our church and burnt our home,
Threw us onto the street, to fend for our own
Salvation was offered, that much is true,
But sacrificing my soul, I just couldn’t do
So here I lie, wallowing in torment,
Yet all they do is step over me and comment
“What filth, what trash, oh how I despise thee,
Thank God for this update, now my eyes no longer see”
They are hiding from the truth, they don’t live in reality,
It’s all a fraud, a fiction, leading to depravity
It was a slow transition for society to reach its current state,
Incremental change kept progressing never wanting to wait
But just how the moon doesn’t move when you stare at it intently,
No one noticed our nature becoming altered directly
Each small advancement was heralded as a Godsend,
Hunger, poverty and crime was coming to an end
These desires are natural, thus having them cannot be faulted,
Yet to make such external changes, the human animal had to be altered
So we all accepted new technology without questioning its potential,
Now the end is justifying the means, its victims inconsequential
