Machine: A Ghazal
The will works like a gadget, desire is a machine
To seek happiness all you require is a machine
The Muses don’t inspire, Pegasus doesn’t soar
Poems are phoney; poet’s lyre is a machine
If heartbeat is programmed, and smile is preset
Her every inch, every square is a machine
So what if you didn’t find romance thus far?
In a world of gizmos love’s empire is a machine
In this dreamlike universe, virtual and unreal
Man is dated, what you admire is a machine
Don’t fuss over meaning in a robotic world
The biggest transcendental signifier is a machine
