Persisticon
Persisticon
Air conditioned and inhuman,
It toils endlessly,
Calculating.
Quota met,
Metrics satisfied,
Production persisted,
Reward is repetition.
Self-reliant insentient,
Cycling incessant,
Servicing instruction,
Instead of satisfaction.
Energy exchanges,
Exacting excess ever.
A cavalcade of continuance,
Programmed and left.
Mechanized,
And without motivation,
Motoring meaninglessly,
Moving nowhere.
Interconnected appliance abandoned,
Creators long passed,
Or uninterested,
Left to produce,
For a population parasitic,
And gone.
The perfected beast,
Mindless and unmastered,
Grinds on.
And on.
