The Mechanical World

Just like them.

Just like me. Me like them Them like me?

Gears turn to make the machine whole And the machine functions for a few All the gears are necessary Turns are up teeth are intertwined Sounds clank and clink They are one One machine

Just like them. Just like me Me like them Them like me?I am gear. I am fueled by tears And my clink does clank My teeth smile bright Turns are up then down then down and I lose up I lose down U ask me to lose my frown All gears are Not Necessary

Just like them. Just like me Me like them Them like me?

Dust has collected on my sun-facing side Although I shine My insides do not reflect its glow No i do not reflect my prime

Just like them? Just like me. Me like them— Them not like me.
