Creating

Let us create

perhaps we shall use machines-said he-

No!- we'll use our hands, interrupted she-we-

steel, we'll form creations we-

will use our flesh, bones, sweat-

oil and fire, ire, industry-

STOP!, no more!

Let us create, think no more of machines

let us destroy that impersonal thing

and feel the pulse of life burst through

like flames of magma burning, melting.

I'd rather use the heat of hands

not burning coal to fuel the fire of desire

that I wish that we might create together.
