Mechanical Demons
19 February, 2003
Author: LinzAy
Metal skyscraping buildings
Mechanical bodies-robotic heads
World of machinery
Life on earth is dead
Acid rain-would burn the skin
Falls from the electrical skies
Bulldozer like automobiles
Tightly locked up-I cry
What has taken over my world
Demons from such a weird place
Destroyed our beauty
I’m the last one left-I am the human race
Torture me with wires
I’m their experiment
Trying to turn me into one of them
The robotic way to torment
All I hear are the clanks and bangs
And the only music they chose to keep
The rock that had the hard-driving machinery sound
Drumming into me so deep
My heads shaking side to side so fast
My body’s twitching
They’re getting to me at last
Close my eyes-I’m dead
Open them-I’m reborn
Wires-my veins, computer-my brain
If I knew what it was to, I’d mourn
Metal’s my "skin"
Somehow protected from the acid rain
The dark electric sky with bolts of electricity
Look beautifully insane
I’m new to this world
But somehow know it so well
I’m a mechanical demon
-Into their world I fell

I'm becomming "its" servent. I have one of those High Tech office chairs that is killing my back, a key-board that turns my fingers numb, on and on. Another picture-of-thought, I gained from your poem was, I'd sure like to go trout fishing, while there is still time. Very GooooD, LinzAy. Thank You, MartinV |

| Xeracy (204.113.161.185) -- Wednesday, April 16 2003, 04:23 pm I really like this one. You painted it nicely. I love in the end how you show that everybody, at sometime or another, wether they like it or not, will have to conform to the norm. Technology is forcing it's way into all our lives and it kinda sucks. I'm going to hold onto the natural as long as I can. |
| LinzAy (64.12.96.103) -- Thursday, April 17 2003, 12:53 am Thankyou Xeracy!! Yes, sometimes when I write i have meanings in my poems that I don't even know I'm putting out....and you pointed that one out to me, and ur right. At one point or another everyone gives into the normal, the usual...but just like you i'm trying to hang onto what i know right now.... Glad you liked the poem! |
