We Need You, Mr. Heart

Ravenous conspirators!
        You'll feel it when the hammer falls.
        Judgmental hypocrisy
Echoes through these halls.

Mr. Heart,
This is your operator speaking;
        Demanding.
Cease your fruitless efforts
To achieve independence -
        You MUST listen,
As this message is of importance.

Know that we see you
        Without eyes.
We see you
        Without eyes.
Know that we hear you
        Without ears.
We hear you
        Without ears.

All these years together,
        My friend,
We've grown quite familiar;
        Surely we know how the Heart ticks.

We understand your influence has reached
        Uncontrolled lands.
A pity, really,
        We would love to assimilate your colleagues.

Rumors like sparks have ignited inner-
        Thoughts,
        Questions,
        Concerns.

It's apparent,
Your plan,
To render old modes of control irrelevant.
        To usher in the new;
        Out the old.
Have you not heard?
        Individuality is punishable!
        Independence unacceptable!

I must inform you,
        Mr. Heart,
That we are the shadow beneath your step.
The thump in your chest.
        Mr. Heart,
We need you like all the rest.
