Maker's Image
By
Bindi Lavelle
Metallic motion
Artificial and fluid
Limbs crafted
From steel by the maker's
hand
Movement executed
By design
For desires
Destruction and production
Outcomes from output
Following the maker's vision
Human goals lead to corruption
And in the machine's hand,
Corruption becomes production
Greed becomes need
Desires by design
From dark recesses of the
maker's mind
Dark desire
Data
Repeat and increase efficiency
Metallic malice
In the image of the maker.
