thrown up there
do they know and
do they care
just a bit stronger
and faster
makes them target
sought ...
gleaming eyes hide
what isn't inside
betraying the common
thought
and everyone knows
aluminum men are built
not born
and the inner side
is nothing more
the cheering smile
advanced in force
forced for advance
============================
flashy garb and
catchy camouflage
of the aluminum woman
a trifling necessity
asserting back with a
false claim to independence
failing to preclude
desires running towards
inclusion by the vanguard
aluminum woman
cast in the battles
you, too, are self-made
what education left
that emptiness there?
