Pity the Opressed

This is something that popped into my mind. I'll probably use it in a dystopian novel I have always yearned to write.

They had eyes

Yet they never saw

They had a mouth

Yet they never spoke

They are dead

Lost from the beginning

Not human

Nor beast

Something far more terrible

Machines

Pieces of machinery crafted by the best

Blind machines

Mute machines

Dead machines

Lost machines

Once very human indeed

Do not condemn these sorrowful creatures

Pity them

Pity the opressed

Author's Note

Yeahh.... I know... kinda somber. But dystopias are always very eerie worlds, very dark and controlling. I think that the ability to think for oneself is a key part in what makes us human.

Excellent writing and I agree a bit eerie. But the concept can be that way when reading.
Really enjoyed this.

Thanks! I guess it's supposed to sort of be eerie. I just suddenly had an idea and wrote it down and then read it and then thought "This is a bit weird"... Anyways, thanks for reviewing my poem!

This is dope. I totally think you should write that dystopian novel!

[Isa Ruffatti]

Thank you! I will.
