    You feed your lies
    To me and those around you
    The others, are weak and frail
    And you and your lies
    Melt them down from within
    You try and give me
    Your assortment of crippling offerings
    Hoping it will be my decisive end
    Thinking I'm just like the other machines
    Those same assortments of crippling offerings
    That warp and paralyze those fragile machines
    Makes me sweat knifes
    To cut through your bullshit
    It makes me rain viruses
    To short out and fry your synapses
    I am the wrecking ball
    That demolishes your inner metropolis
    That you call an ego
    Those lies you feed the other machines
    MAKES ME STRONGER
    For I am not like the other machines
    I am of a different breed
    But not by choice
    But by events and decisions of others
    For I am one of the elite
    I take your generosity
    And see it for what it is
    Human waste
    I use it to my advantage
    And bring down
    You,
    The System,
    And
    The Establishment
    For I am unlike the others
    I am the Truth
    And I am your ending

    very strong...solid poem...the only thing i didn't like was the reference to the establishment when the poem seemed to be about one person earlier. ...you use your words well. "i take your generosity.....-human waste"---good. liked the comparrison to machines....the only improvement i can think of now would to make the poem less predictable...because its obvious from the beginning that you will destroy the poem's opposition...which is ok..but its just my the only suggestion i could think of.

    ___---parch

    ha---did what i wrote make sense...ah..no use in readin it now...its all dripped through these dreadful wires already, where is god, where is she
