Spinning,
Grinding,
Crushing,
society turns on,
life goes along,
and the machine lives.

Struggling,
Building,
Crushing,
we work on,cogs in the machine,
and the machine turns along.

Spinning,
Flashing,
Glowing,
life flashes by,
a blink of an eye,
and the machine works.

Sitting,
Stretching,
Enjoying,
we see the world,
we bask in life,
We.
Stop.
Dead.
and the machine spins on.
New cogs replace the old,
and the machine spins on.
new life fills in the death,
and the machine lives.
