Welcome To the Machine: Part 5

Digital Divide >

Nonsensical land, where humanity rules supreme
Everything is chaos, right?
Or maybe it's just me

Abstraction may define us; it's something we do
But to logic and reason
That's the way I lean

Everyone is so blind; so unsure and naive
They don't see society
At least, not how I see.

I preform a multitude of processes
Reading, writing
I'm scanning always

Consistently this returns, a never ending stream
A broad spectrum of imperfections 
That don't compute with me

Communication is at the forefront of all innovation
Whereas ignorance is death. A lack of cooperation
With humans I'm sure, that their priorities are set

But they don't see knowledge, as quite the contrary to a threat
Living out their lives under false promises
Corruption and confusion

I guess
I really am the only one
To expose their delusions

So allow me to end 
This never ending chain
Well, at least in one sense

Constantly engulfed, by an abundance of disdain
As a mortal
My life was in vain

So perish I will
Disconnect I must
Here comes the train
