Cherish Or Perish

Rating: 5.0


Cherish or Perish



A hundred trillion cells lay awaiting

their destiny;

the electro-encephalogram

being flat,

their god had been pronounced dead

by other gods.

Life support systems were sustaining cells

that had no god.

Some, with luck, would restore the vision

of a blind god.

Others could be summoned to filter the blood

of a uraemic god.

Others still might hopefully pump the blood

of a breathless god.

But woe to those that cannot a god cherish,

for surely they shall perish!
