Tunnel Visionaries

«Nobody could have conceived in the final decade of the 20th century
That our humble affairs were being manipulated by computer interface

Beings immensely more devious than ourselves surveyed this defiled planet with
jaundiced eyes
And swiftly and ruthlessly, they hatched foul plots against us»
