.
embelish your smile for me
one more time
crack your good intentions
feel in rhyme
.
hand over your false emotion
set free your thoughtless devotion
hugs so stale
transparent eyes drugged with lifeless potion
.
are you real anymore
pinch your cold skin
breathe deep into your numbed soul
what kind of state are you living in
.
alarm rings
eggs scramble
late again
rush in but lethargic within
the world spins around in a whirl of blues and grays
all the while warm color and born love begs
come in
.
you peer around the corner of your life
and see visions of manufactured design
engineered hearts, radioactive hands
you cringe at the sight of your man-made mind
.
