what is it that i think
the razors edge put to my thoughts
dissect my feelings
tear me down so that only i remain
destory these walls i build
to protect myself form me
rip away this rotting facade
this bitter blur that blocks my eyes
the white noise that diludes my hearing
i need input from this decaying veil of reality
i am a machine that needs data to process
to give me meaning, porpose
so that i may understand my self
and why i feel this way
Sleep only provides confusion
between reality and unreality
while being awake only brings pain and uncerntanty
each moment frozen forever
each thought falls to the ground only to be torn apart and studied in a futile attempt to understand,
what i already know...
deaus ex machina
one of mankinds desires is to become god thus replacing the word god with man in the prase "and god created to man" but what is that man as god creates, does man desire to become a demigod to its own race or will man be replaced by machine...

think litterally, "deus ex machina" means from god the machine then if man wants to be god then it becomes "from man the machine" but is it to actual machines or is humanity a form of biological machine, thus making man god over other man.

Punctuation in your explanation would have been nice; as it is, it's very disjointed and I doubt anyone would get the gist of what you are saying.

And your poem really has nothing to do with your explanation.

FYI: The "deus ex machina" was invented by the Ancient Greeks to lift "Gods" with a crane-like apparatus in their theater productions. If you really want what you're looking for, I suggest reading "The Adding Machine" by Elmer Rice. Now that is about the mechanization of man.
