Dark–dwelling inside of your eyes
Cold and unfeeling disguise
Is this the way you decide
Our future?
Dark–just like your arrogant mind
Whirring like gears at the grind
Is this the way you decide
What we do here?
Break all of your wires and
Take all these desires you
Fight, holding to power but
I don’t need your vintage of
Hate–or is it just how you
Think? All your emotions
Erased as the machines have
Replaced your senses
Blank–nothing computes in your
Brain. What is there left here to
Say? You cannot process my
Way of dreaming
Wake–make your way back to a
Place we can recover this
Face you manufactured to
Save composure
Break all of your wires and
Take all these desires you
Fight, holding to power but
I don’t need your style of
Hate–or is it just how you
Think? All your emotions
Erased as the machines have
Replaced your senses

The personal, the political.
As above, so below.
Thank you ben
Lets hope the machines never take over!! Brilliant poem. xx
They already have 😉
Thank you. This reminds me so much of someone I have had to say goodbye to for my own sanity.
Good to see you again Sarah. It’s difficult dealing with people unwilling to express emotion or passion. Thank you
Very good portrayal of the passive/aggressive personality. Unfortunately so much of this is automatic/mechanical — your poem reflects the need to for such people to take that courageous and difficult step to start behaving differently — constantly overcoming the mechanics and breakign the circuitry/wires as you so accurately note.
Thank you so much, my friend. It is good to see you here
I loved, loved, loved it! Absolutely brilliant!
It could be a lyrics to a song (I was kind of singing it when I read it) c:
This is absolutely one of my favorites!
Some of my posts are song lyrics, so that is a wonder compliment! Thank you so much for stopping by! 🙂
Another amazing post 😉
Thank you very much!
Nice piece VW. I don’t expect you will get quite as many comments on this one, but indeed dreams seem to be the only way to re-wire our machines to serve us rather than what currently is the reality…we serving them…and them include most of us.
I haven’t a clue how to tell what would get comments or not. I just find myself consistently amazed that anyone has interest in my work at all 🙂
Thank you!
Hate–or is it just how you

Replaced your senses…..
it’s like dwelling real and unreal…. reminds me of him wanted to take everything just like a machine with no feeling… great poem….thank you for sharing…
We are sometimes driven by self preservation to deny our feelings and operate in a machine-like way. I must confess I have been guilty…thank you very much!
