The Mathematical Working Machine


Machine minds,

Enclosed in a room full of tools.

Unexpressive calculators ready to build.

 

Machine men,

Mechanisms adjusted by the pressure

Of intensive courses, they subtract any pleasure.

 

Machine hearts,

They do not longer care of anything treasured

If it cannot be measured

 

The machines walk.

They are a product of an institution

Originated as a solution,

However, resembles industrialization.

 

We are the mass produced mind.

We are the machines blended into one kind.

For our options were by others defined,

And we are limited to only one.

 

We are the mathematical working machine.
