Untitled Machine
The process in a hive
surgical snippets of allopathic
functioning and standardized
the unequal rhetoric
of a stolen paradise
Reaction homogeneous undiversified
to clacking gear
of working mechanized
the robotic motor
for economic lives
Buy the used up trash can of civilized
Such are the things of love in their passing
waste recycling
no longer applicable
the useless detritus
the human industrialized
The process in a hive
Sweet fortuitous profit
for living in life only to survive
the laws of credit
the hum drum mechanic
steadfastly brutalized
Cut, swipe the cure-all chemical
the ready cash
with its easy voodoo
its empty idols
strangle to a last breath the spiritual
Flip through the catalog of the hive
Its children become weaponized
uniformed internment
scrutinies institution
of all their varied lives
a scrape of paper tossed upon
the economies expendable garbage pile
