synchronized simplicity

they said they did it for efficiency's sake.

birthed machine after machine,

just to increase the rate

                                  per

                                 time.

no god-given talent or skill,

can defeat this adaptive assembly line.

 

no man-     P

no fire-         O

no brain-       W

no super-     E

no will-      R

 

it's flawless at first glance, and maybe even second.

simply perfect to the naked eye; even the telescoped, i reckon.

but under a microscope, it becomes simple to see,

this single-purposed way of life isn't human; how can it be?

 

just like control + C, control + V,

 

i believe they've synchronized simplicity.

  believe they've synchronized simplicity.

                they've synchronized simplicity.

                              synchronized simplicity.

                                                       simplicity.
