Product.
Designed
as such.
Milled
and honed.
Hammered
into shape.
Devised
in flame.
Cooled
by earth,
and water.
Molded
into form.
Programmed.
Environmentally
coded.
Created
in a
tempest.
Behaving
as such.
Battling,
mandated,
following
the plan.
Forest
for the
trees.
Big fish
small pond.
Scurrying
around.
Masters
of the
universe.
Center
of all
things.
Delusional.
Importance
imagined.
Minnows
in a greater
sea.
A sea
where
monsters
lurk.
