Mechanical Miracles

may appear to inspire belief,
but appearances deceive.

When something mechanical
does what it should,
when it saves human effort,
relieves human pain,
all whilst saving the planet,
we should be more than thankful. 

When we let the mechanics
of what we live through
dictate how we should live
we become the anti-miracle,
the alchemy in reverse,
where, in lock-step with the machines
that we make and we depend upon,
we make narratives in where we detach
ourselves ever further
from the cycles of nature
until the miracle of mortality,
that no machine can stop, reclaims us.
