Automation Situation
could it be
built like a gleaming thing
automation situation
people of this earth
programmed what to do
do not slow down our movement
there are more forms to fill
automation situation
we are moving down –
the production line
conveyer belt dreams
they bolt on new things
laser belt hip straps
automated mice
caught by automated cats
bred for a task
the bionic breed
removing our feelings
and no one cares
reject bin nightmare
and hollow screams
automation situation
tempered by electric dreams
James Garratt – Written Sunday 20th November 1994
