Automated.
Minds are.
Automated.
Dreams are.
Automated wishes,
To get.
With...
Automated thoughts,
To reset.

Where are those with their hopes,
Hanging on...
To not let go.
As preachers speak of kept faith.
Where are those who know,
What is better for the rest.
Less are their voices heard in protest.

What is the purpose for lessons taught.
What is the purpose for time sought to learn,
To pass those tasks not to last...
In these times moving away so fast,
From expectations that are quickly trashed.

Automated.
Minds are.
Automated.
Dreams are.
Automated wishes,
To get.
With...
Automated thoughts,
To reset.

Where are those with their hopes,
Hanging on...
To not let go.
As preachers speak of kept faith.
Where are those who know,
What is better for the rest.
Less are their voices heard in protest.
