Steampunk Life
Lace outlines delicate throats of women
Nobly walking down cobblestone streets,
Grease coats the hands of mechanical men
As they hammer metal in steady beats.
Stars glow less than nuclear timepieces,
Though watchmakers are no where near happy,
Seamstresses design new folds and creases
While lovers walk closely and act sappy.
Singing automatons will encourage
And children fill their mouths with cinnamon.
This great age of invention will flourish
Under the care of the land’s citizens,
Which allows for a state of fruition
That brings forth ease to personal missions.
