Analysis of Machine 2



Because of mechanical love
Birds became wild
Changed there nest
To settle some where
Chimneys clouds
Ruled the blue of house
Beats inside ached me
Sucked my vessels to drain me
I blurred with tears
Buried me inside and cried
However, machine
Chased me like a monster
I quivered and frightened
At last, time laughed at me
And beckoned
Said how do you feel being machine?
I said please help me
I am trapped
