Machine Dream

Hello Machines! Hello Smog! Can’t live without you, can’t live with you. So what do we do?

Whoosh bang clank, there’s nothing we can’t do,
We can make your lives more comfortable for you
We’re speedy, quick we never stop all day
WE ARE THE MACHINES

Burdened with huge amounts of tedious work, the humans build machines to ease their load. The machines are glorious! There’s nothing they can’t do! But the humans soon discover that perhaps the machines are too good to be true after all, because they create an ugly, menacing smog! Despite their brain wracking, and wacky solutions, the humans cannot think of a way to get rid of the smog without shutting down the machines. Perhaps you can help?
