"Mechanica Major", a sci-fi poem from my now unpublished and out-of-print speculative poetry collection that hadn't been previously published in a zine or anthology, but I had shared previously online.
Mechanica Major
By Richard H. Fay
Robotic minds rule human sentiments
On this mechanical metallic orb.
Satellites skim over the continents;
Free thought and true emotions they absorb.
Soulless cities cover the cheerless land.
Thick black sludge flows in a polluted sea.
Titanium decks hide the sandy strand
As far as telescopic eyes can see.
Mortal automatons march through grim streets
Oblivious to their own dismal state.
Synthetic pumps replace living heartbeats;
The people face a dark and dreary fate.
