Rant Against the Machine

Sometimes, it's as if they plan to spite us!

 

Rant Against the Machine

 

Evil you sit in darkness

Awaiting the next one your way

All the while, you plot your deed

Which will your evil heart desire?

Turbulent trashing and wildly you toss

All inside you till at last all stops

Waiting that one dark moment in time

When you set loose that foul design!

Ever shall they trust you yet?

And never think you at fault

It cannot not think,

It cannot feel

Tell me then, why so many tears?

Flowing now towards all we hold dear,

Never once slowing nor heeding the cries!

Dashing now once all our day’s work

Treasures of past hold you no worth

And once now more the flow stops

Beaten back by all we find and more

Till once more subdued and into that place

Yet it cannot feel, nor can it think

But maybe it did, would that be the trick?

fighting against something mechanical is one of humanities biggest challenges. how do you fight something that does not respond but just keeps on destroying without remorse. I like the piece because it makes you think, it asks questions that you have to ponder.
thanks!

I loved it. Absolutely amazing. Man vs Machine. A common war and yet you make it new and insipring.

I took your advice by the way, and wrote a filler chapter for DawnFlower.

my washing machine is just as evil as this one! Mystery stains abound! This was cleverly written.
