Law of the Instrument

I’ll turn you all into nails

If you make me a hammer

Per Law of the Instrument

I will become militant

Repetitive and constant

A Birmingham Screwdriver

Full of confirmation bias

Painting the world a disaster

With only one way to fix her

If you make me a hammer

I'll turn you all into nails

Interesting analogy. I like this piece... it is a great start

[Davidgeo]

It's a very old concept known as "Law of the Instrument" or more commonly as "Maslow's Hammer" or if your English you might just call a hammer being used for the wrong purpose a "Birmingham Screwdriver". I'm glad you liked it but I have to ask.... what does "it is a great start" mean? That poem's clearly done.
