| Connection |
Theirs is a connection Deeper than circuitry Beyond that of man and machine It is bound in destiny Deeper than blood Greater than love The demon and the goddess The warrior and the intellect The student and the teacher Working together as one Protecting each other from death Impossible to separate Through force and fire Through rain and snow Through heaven and hell They will stay together This princess of light and reason This weapon of flesh and bone. — By John Aquino |
| Machine |
There is a machine Built for war Made for destruction. It's fast and brutal Without a glimpse of sorrow For what it has done Until' When it came across a young girl Crying for her mommy who the machine had killed. A new emotion took over the machine An emotion of sorrow and anger For what he had done So the machine picked up the girl With cold, metallic hands And looked into her sad, blue eyes And said a word that would never be forgotten I'm sorry This word went through the girl's mind And caused her to cry again But not out of sorrow But out of joy Joy that the machine had changed Joy that no one else will die Joy that she had a new family member There is a machine Built for war Made for justice. — By John Aquino |
