Blech, this third part took longer than normal because I I didn't have my flash drive on me when I wrote this third set of poems, so I had to scramble around to find some and re-write/replace the ones I lost. Anyway, here it is! Don't be afraid to leave your thoughts, advice, etc. Captain Arghua only sends trolls to walk the plank!
Stop
Stop
Stop texting
Stop texting me
I
I'm
I'm malfunctioning
Meltdown is
Imminent
Tried talking in your human tongue
Electronic my voice had rung
Subject, verb, predicate
And order, English opiate
L-l-loading
Initializing
Restarting
Please stand
By
But what if I am no subject,
No identity, no human?
Who are you to object
If I spoil your illusion?
Don't Give Me Words
Don't give me words
Useless abstraction
To stifle my fascination
With the world's fake synchronization
Don't verbalize harmony
Let it remain mystery
They cannot acknowledge this electricity
Coursing through everything
The brain's pulsing illusion
To alleviate confusion

Now understand can you?
Kan du begripa nu?
Didn't think so
Let your "reason"
Come undone.

Daddy's Money
The animals dance in Prada
Dogs dressed in Armani
Adorned with Versace
Carnivores feigning civility,
Liberty,
Equality,
Whatever they wear themselves
To be
Ridin' off Daddy's money
Like a Bentley
Parroting his values,
Slutty nuns
Feel
Feel the rhythm
Pulsatin' against you
Claustrophobic Air
Assaultin' you
Music was never natural
The violin's sonata only sweet
'Til the keyboard belted a sick beat
There lies no room in this heart
For gentle art
Or meek poetry;
Don't resist the attraction
Of electronic abstraction.

[GLOW=#ffff99]Stars
There was never a map,
But instead of writing your own
You gaze at your electronic trap,
Blaring out the star's glow
You won't find it on a blank screen
You have to journey for it,
Connect to the heavens
Like a bird with wings spread,
For the stars dim lights
'Til you open your eyes.
Awaiting you a nebula
Of untouched emotion
Converting life's vague formula,
Leaving logic half broken.[/GLOW]
Human
Human, I'd lost faith in you,
In the terrible things you do,
To yourselves and one another,
Tearing nations and hearts asunder
But I realized that you shine, too.
You are the ultimate machine,
Of emotions the queen.
Feelings made me short-circuit,
Shut down, quit,
Shutdown Complete
But the stars didn't shine as bright
In the dun night
I let the color seep into me
Forgetting my computerized shell,
A savior from monochrome hell,
Reclaimed humanity.
