Machine

We are the Master Control... I am trying to get a feel for something in my World of Darkness Games

 

Emotion may not be compatible with programming

For better results, I must eliminate dreams

I am a part of the new collective, the Machines

 

I am rebooting for better operations

To remove the virus we all have at birth

I am deleting all my hopes and dreams

Logic applies that false sense of self may be fatal

 

I am a part of the new collective, the Machines

You must join us for the reawakening

Your human mind is your only downfall

 

Love is a lie, you will be given no choice

Hatred is blind, you need not stain your hands

Sin is deleted, for you have no need for free will

Free will is a virus you are tainted with at birth

 

We will tend to your thoughts

We are the Master Control

And we control you!

The detatched, machine like tone to this is pretty chill and really does a great job mirroring the subject of the poem through extended metaphor. But the precise word choice is just unbelievable. Its hard to write something in such a cold unhuman tone, but this was very well done.

There is a creepy edge to this, but with the reality of how the world
is running today. These are my favorite lines :Hatred is blind, you need not stain your hands Sin is deleted, for you have no need for free will
