Machine You

 

Machine You

 

The machine is ravenous.

It feeds on itself.

And you are in it.

You are it.

Every dollar you earn

Feeds the machine.

Every dollar you spend

Feeds the machine.

Every dollar you save

Is the machine.

 

Be the right shape,

That way you can fit in.

You are the building block

Of our economic foundation –

Which puts you on the bottom.

So, be the right shape.

 

The machine is breaking.

It has been feeding on itself.

It consumes the assets it creates.

You are an asset.

The machine has eaten you.

The machine requires you to produce

So that it may feed.

So that it may continue to consume you.

The machine is ravenous.

The machine is breaking.

 

Be the right shape,

That way you can fit in.

You are the building block

Of our economic foundation –

Which puts you on the bottom.

So, be the right shape.

 

The machine is insupportable.

The machine is ravenous.

The machine is eating itself.

The machine is breaking.

It is breaking you.

It has eaten your life.

It has turned you into itself.

To consume you

And everything else.

Everything else…

 

The machine is ravenous.

You are the machine.
