Robotic Plague (Free verse) by bon
Ego stops the engine beneath the contraction of flesh and blood
As the sudden brittleness takes its toll
They bridge yesterday and tomorrow to stitch what has designed
And change the destiny of our age
Time is skipping as the dayâs fast running
A triathlon of intensity against the elements of weakness
Machineries they created replacing sane minds
As they slip over generationâs past
Rational souls are in rage of adoration and madness
Trying to find the missing piece of the puzzle they fashioned
They raise empty religion we learn to accept,
Amity between procrastination and urgency
And the severance of our essence and form
Ideals they disperse into the milking minds
Creating an army of mindless generation
They are like smoke that intervenes a blossoming day
As the murkiness becomes the air we breathe
They lurk in the music we merely hear
Little by little, killing us by spirits we gulp
They hunt down clothes to dress our body
Leaving the owner feeling cold and fuzzy
Voices we shout them with blames and grief
They throw back stones of pain unrelieved
The melodies we sang that compensate fond aches
Are topping their charts in one week straight
We are their machines, puppets on their strings
We came from the images of our mentorsâ minds
They steal our soul and the beating of our heart,
The solace of the sun and the shiver in the rain
Our endeavors fail and tired of anticipating
For the return of the innocence we lost
And from our deprived naivety
The eyes we used to see bright intuitions
Are now gloomy by their suppressions
Now, I close them and release my soul
Release my grip that binds them all

The melodies we sang that compensate fond aches
but you do try me with the rest of those phrases strung garishly together to beat upon my consciousness
