Antidote

I’m nothing but a machine, 
Hearing other’s pain but not my own; 
Why should I catch up with y'all? 

Frogs croak in the dead of night— 
I won’t wait for you to understand, 
Thoughts disappear in a flash. 

Riding my ‘unwanted' box, 
I float in waters beyond your reach— 
How can I land on the moon? 

Cities moving like clockwork; 
Video chats keep minds in order. 
I’m nothing but a machine.
