Brilliant Ian, the “4th generation”, doomed to repeat.

I love the analogy of being snug in bed, (as I am) and fearing and anticipating someone creeping in and grabbing your feet. It’s like a game gone wrong, it was all a bit of naughty fun to start with, but the kids have gone mad.

It would not surprise me in the least if the last verse came true. Such is the mindset of the tech-bro-sphere that seems to be running the place.

“You don’t need the moon,”

says the Me, “Evil ball!

A night-light for

black,

hairy

wild things that crawl!

My lunar harpoons

were the cause of its fall.

I’ll keep the moon safe

(to protect you all).”

I love the way this all rolls. Thanks for sharing!

I’d love to lay it out like a pre-school story-book, but I’m far from a visual artist/illustrator.

Pretty fab Ian! Lots of stuff to fear from across the Pond just now.

And sort of related…

I’ve been lamenting the future pillage of possible “resources” on the moon by meddling mankind. I can imagine the moons surface being used for advertising in some horrible future, and we will have fucked up yet another wonder of nature.
