Machinery

In a second
The clocks of our hearts
Can tick, tick
Stop

The mechanisms of us
All can rust
Sputter
Die

With each gear
We all turn
Veer
Spin

Were held into place
By parts essential
Dear
Rare

For a time
We have loved
Hated
Envied

Yet all the time
We are headed rapidly
Swiftly
Hastily

To our junkyards
Where we crumble
Disassemble
Destruct

Now let us turn
From our bars
Chambers
Cells

And break free
So we may live
Pursue
and Dream

Break our chains
That make us machines
Who wait
To break

nice style. im getting more into that kind of punctuation in thought. from couplets to free verse to whatever you call this. poetic maturity i think
