Manufactured Ambition

Feedback Received!
cog in the machine  
but a cognitive machine  
production slows  
I only rust and never bleed  
wiring is flayed  
left unmaintained  
shorted circuits  
in electrical brains  
invisible interest  
specters in the system  
created to continue  
existing for existence  
suppress all seeing  
work is all meaning  
pressure to press on  
depressed from this feeling  
neglected intuition  
the robotic condition  
emotions out of scope  
apathy is religion  
everything as it seems  
static routine  
I dream of blues and greens  
once rivers and trees
