A Panfeminine World Government

A Futuristic Ballad by Rachel Clarke

Excerpt, Part 7-8

…
Arriving at the conference venue,
I ascend in the elevator.
Hovering above the roof of the city’s highest building,
the delegates await their landing.

Suddenly the roof opens and there appears,
shimmering in the morning light,
the face with millions of colour facets,
that form the world government.

The Face flickers and speaks…

“We are the universal pan-female world government.
We are the multitude.
We flow from local into regional
into transnational networks.

From the north to the south safe zones,
worldwide at the same time,
we all have the choice, the right to vote.

Today we convene here,
for communication, anticipation, prevention,
in the intelligence of the infinite swarm.
For today, there’s a state of emergency”.

and we see in the air, flickering -
the many millions who have tuned in.
