THE MACHINE
We live in a machine...
A machine that will not feed unless it is fed
Defined by a system that is designed to make us bleed,
Until there is nothing left to be bled.
Our freedom only an illusion
Characterized by an imagination
That had the ability to mask
Our reaction of evaluation.
So stand back and take a look,
This is your chance to evaluate...
A system that has overstepped it's boundaries.
Because a machine cannot function
Without all of it's moving parts
And there will come a day
When those parts will deteriorate...
The day when our minds will delegate
A long overdue revolution...
That will decide the fate of this machine
That has enslaved us to these delusions.

Looking back, his mind goes black with forgotten memories.
