Trapped And Voiceless

A poem about being part of a broken machine. Mechanic, please listen to me

trapped in an institution within an institution within an institution
trapped in a government within a government within a government
part of a broken machine

voiceless
or
do I have a voice that no one listens to?
is that disempowering or freeing?

is the mechanic God or is the mechanic ourselves
mechanic, please listen to my voice

trapped in an institution within an institution within an institution
trapped in a government within a government within a government
part of a broken machine
mechanic, please listen to my voice
are you disempowering or freeing me?
one
we are one
