Disassembling the Machine

Impetuous,
Industriously
Plagiarizing engineers
lose sight of what is right,
we're losing sight of what is real.
Magnetized, electrifying, caustic
wiring all decays,
indoctrinated theorums
peeking through
the gaseous
haze.
We're uninformed
with misused tools.
Mistreated, heated
spats with fools
escape our lips,
our fingertips,
Hard-bitten to
destroy the school.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
— JRR Tolkien
