The Cog, The Machine
The machine doesn’t know your name. It doesn’t need to. You show up, you turn, you wear down. The question isn’t whether the system uses you it’s whether you’d notice if it stopped.

Original poem
Am I the cog Or the dust that falls between Am I the fuel? Am I the waste? Or am I the machine? Do I show myself? Or do I carry on unseen? Cycles and spirals Gears keep turning Dust in the shadows The engine's yearning Fuel ignites But the ash is learning Am I the spark Or am I the flame that's burning? Am I the path or am I the one that's chosen? Am I the thread or am I the needle woven? Am I lost in the cracks Of doors unopened? Am I the tide? Or am I the force of the ocean? Echoes hum, And my pulse keeps growing.
Lyrics
Am i the cog, or the dust that falls between am i the fuel, the waste or the machine do i show myself, or carry on unseen carry on unseen Am i the cog, or the dust that falls between am i the fuel, the waste or the machine do i show myself, or carry on unseen carry on unseen Cycles and spirals, the gears keep turning, Dust in the shadows, the engine's yearning, Fuel ignites, but the ash is learning, Am I the spark or the flame that's burning? Blueprint coded, systems frozen, Am I the path or the one that's chosen? Am I the thread or the needle woven, Lost in the cracks of the doors unopened? Drive or drag, the weight, the motion, Am I the tide or the force of the ocean? Echoes hum, and the pulse keeps showing, Carry on unseen, but the question's growing. Am i the cog, or the dust that falls between am i the fuel, the waste or the machine do i show myself, or carry on unseen carry on unseen carry on unseen
