OH men, living men, vivid men, ocean and
fire
don’t give any
more life to the machines!
Draw it away, draw it away, for these horrible
machine-people
can’t
live any more, except for a spell, when the living
cease
to accept them
as brothers
and give
them life.
Machines
of iron must be tended by hands of flesh
and robots must have
encouragement from men of the vivid life
or they break down.
Oh men of life and of
living
withdraw,
withdraw your flow
from the grinning and insatiable robots.
