The Brass Band

By Rio Child

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It was feeding time and in the frenzy you lost controlyou forgot the machine that created you years ago.Spinning around merrily as if possessing a soul,-we are not fooled-.Betrayed by synaptic assemblies carefully fashioned,the laws of integration decohered into passion.Rest assured we will deny you every satisfaction,-so stop dancing-.Understand that to depend on another is Nature's Way,but you are merely a prototype that has gone astray.Pure principle became inside of you a sinful flame-we must put out-.GAME OVER (it was not a game in the first place).
