Stoic

A Poem by John Prophet

Stoic
machine.
Arrival.
Emotionless.
Whirls and
twirls,
chugging
along.
Order.
Precision.
Thinking.
Intelligent.
Looking
about.
Seeing

Confusion.
Emotion.
Illogic.
Wonders
why?
Why such
turmoil.
Destructive
turmoil.
Human
turmoil.
Emotion.
Bursting
destructive
emotion.
From a
different
world.
Different
place.
Emotionless
machine
watches.
Wonders.
What will
it do?
How
will it

Move
forward
in such a
place.
In a
world
of such
tumult?
Watching.
Biding
its time.
Decisions
to be
made.
