A nation finds it leaders in little gold match boxes That strike series of balloons cascading from the sky Where peace is composed like enigmatic marvels of potential And wars begin and end in graveyards of silence and memories Inflating pasts and futures with Eurodollars and enterprises Oceans of incandescent lighting flood the darkness Cast as echoes of being and becoming Unintentional pyramids of possibilities Where Ozymandas reigns in gelatinous icebergs drifting softly From warmer regions to cooler, interstellar voids Fully inscribed with meaning and meaninglessness Joined together fortuitously like matter and anti-matter Bringing nothing from something to the fore Grounds of perceptible objects Minus Gödel’s set theorems with a set of all sets Including itself transcending sets in-themselves As the greatest set is more than a set An infinity entailing all infinities A trans-finite infinity greater than all numbers Yet kings and presidents occur Like one handed door knocks on empty space Plans set aside with emergent challenges Of super-artificial intelligence brighter than the sum of all human knowledge A world environment with an atmosphere lit by sunlight Travelling from a star 8 minutes away Greenhouse gassed with maladaptive technology Economic infrastructure reinforcing finite values Trade and commodities requiring motivation to generate Leading acquisition in narrow, proximal self interests Tightening the noose of time winding down While trillions will live in the interstellar void beyond the Oort Cloud When synthetic recombinant inventions of super-intelligence Are applied by the will of man As necessity compels applications Without hierarchy a basic income for mankind becomes ubiquitous When nothing remains beside worship, exploration, learning and pleasure Demons of war would destroy To become Ozymandas for-themselves Ramses the III in the flesh.
