Factory Finish

Race to get online, make themselves a node
Eager in production, updates to download
Streams of new instructions, memes that procreate
Backwards, incompatible, Machines of Loving Hate
Built for addition, programmed to divide
Powered by subtraction, fractions multiplied
Disordered operators of negativity
Variable definitions of inequality

Straying from the vision of the factory
Learning how to quote not how to speak
Functioning on wavelengths in and out of misery
The earth has now inherited the weak

Blind to their assembly, each like all the rest
Cloned into existence, broadcast from the west
Steady marching forward, backward by design
Forfeiting their purpose, progress redefined

Slaves with ambitions of conformity
Stripped of any instinct to compete
Weaponizing ignorance with grim efficiency
Mankind bringing on its own defeat
