Rusty Minds

They prefer machines
They prefer robots
They prefer metal over flesh 
They prefer no soul over soul 
They prefer no heart over heart
They prefer computers
And think it is more in value
Than people, than humans that created that crap 
But without realization 
We become them 
We began assuming 
That a robot is so expensive
That a laptop is so smart
That metal that rusts and gets dusty 
That metal that contains no valuable insides
Are smarter, are better, are more precious
They take lives easily 
And stick to their planes
They make shooting guns 
And get shot by them 
Eventually…
Eventually we’ll all die
So why waste out life 
Adoring that crap?
That crap that never dies but rusts 
And get broken and shuts down?
That crap has no heart
That crap has no feelings 
That crap has no living soul 
By all means
That crap has no life…

Wherever a person builds and stores their treasures there the heart is also. Nice reminder to not that wordly things rust and go away. Need to build our treasures where they will last an eternity. Thanks for the read.
