arbor day

walk a mechanical dog
on a mechanical street
on a mechanical prefab day
organic is outdated
it's the digital age

who needs to care?
who needs to feel?
who needs the real deal?
when synthetic made it possible

everything real dies
except for the machines
that's why you'll live forever
don't try to be human
failure is organic

who needs to care?
who needs to feel?
who needs the real deal?
when synthetic made it possible

pop your pills
a special blend
just for you
my old friend

metal trees
are all that's real
when synthetic made it possible

everything is skin deep

An interesting and disturbing look at the future here, my friend. I especally love this line:

"Failure is organic"

I hope this vision of the future never comes true. Thanks for sharing.

I really did enjoy this, but I feel as though it was meant to be negative... this kind of bothered me.  I don't agree with many of the sentiments in the poem, but still I'll applaud the poetry itself.

Concieted??  Impossible!  That would be a fault!

I really like the perspective of this poem and the central theme of it.  it was very different and unique, and that is always a good thing.  keep posting your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

*shudders* this was a great read. Very good. I like the way your mind thinks within this poem. Great job!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This is definitly odd. But it's not bad. Proposes something interesting.It's the first thing I've read from you, I'm going to go read more.

Ps. What are string Physics?

Back to the jungle, Tarzan!  

I knew Allan wasn't going to like this one. lol Well, he likes it but it goes against his views. My little unusual pagan buddy.  

As for the poem, I thought it was very good.

I had a dream once that I could fly and I laughed at everyone and kicked them in the back of the head because they couldn't fly too. :)

thanks for all the responce guys.
string physics is basicly a theory that the universe is not made up of atoms but smaller 1 dementional "strings". if you want to know more you can go to http://www.superstringtheory.com/ or pick up a copy of The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene. both are very good sources of information.
