Circuits connected
We are all circuits
Connected
I was switched on
Tapped in
I am a station
With eyes and a signal
If you watch with me
You do not say
Do I broadcast into the millions
Do I fool myself
In wait of the day
When
Someone says
We hear you
I am a power
So my radar says
Is my wiring shot
Chasing phantom echoes
Circuits connected
We are all circuits
Connected
I am locked on
Fuses hot
I am a human
With flaws and emotions
Though sometimes I might seem less
Do I seem so unfamiliar
If you have known me
Is there no way you'll confess
I am a prototype
Design with a purpose
Experimental model on the front line
Today
A fight to the end
As life struggles forward
New forms are expendable
So they say
On the day of the shutdown
I wonder what it is that will be seen
The non-event of another dying cell
Or sudden static on the screen
