NEW-METAL
A paean to the indestructible qualities of the newly discovered mental that has replaced those flesh-parts of man to make new Moderan man. However, some flesh has to be retained so Moderan man can at least have conscious awareness and some emotions and feeling so as to claim to still be a man.
"So, though we could all have become, and easily - through our sciences - mechanical men, with engines in us that would have talked and smiled and swore for us, that would have made all the human gestures far and wide for us and that would have been able to repair themselves and build their kind all new for us, what would all that have proved? It would have proved that man had developed a very clever and sophisticated batch of science know-how indeed. And for sure!"
"But we didn't want it that way. Fists knotted at the sky, eyes all wild and hammers pounding the earth of our base and our subjection, we did not want it that way. By God, we'd take God into custody with our efforts and our cunning ways as men. We'd see Him bow, hear Him cry out, "My children have outdone me! While I slept away, they have moved each to a godhood of his own, everlasting and timeless all! My work is done."
Hail to science! Hail to metal! Time is conquered! Moderan man is the crown of creation - the perfect combination of metal and the human!
