Cautionary Verse

davros.gif.gif

Beware the eyecatcher, child;
Malignant impotence whose food is fear;
Shun the foul succubus
wolf-familiar that guides his eldritch hand.

The unseeing eye would know you
and ensure your visibility
And with infernal apparatus
order a mass-scan of the innocents.

Spawn of ressentiment, his tabulations would be legion
marking each bad seed
for ejection or incarceration
between chainlink fence and DHSS form

Beware the Eyecatcher, my child
Lest you become his prey; swallowed by
abyssal cross-referencing
Look you not into the dead lens
And carry not the card.

"He is totally insane, believing that the Daleks have the right to destroy all other life in order to take on their destiny as rulers of the universe. Given the chance to create or destroy, Davros has always chosen destruction."

"...but relax. We are only doing this to make you safer"

(with apologies to Terry Nation, and thanks to k-punk for his premonitory comparison many years before the full horror of the situation became evident)
