The modern human being

Contributed by essential on Wednesday, 21st April 2010 @ 09:26:19 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



What’s the difference between you and a machine?
Only the fact that you eat and sweat?
Do these little facts make you human just like that?
Is there really no other divergence between
A cold and silver thing and the modern human being?

Your moves are controlled by a cogwheel
Once upon a time you traded it for your brain
It has let you become carefree yet inane
And whatever grief that we other people feel
Is - unnoticed - repelled by your skin of steel

On the dance floor you seek claim to fame
Of course you always show your robot moves
They all like it, as for me they just approve
That a robot and the person you became
Are at a closer look one and the same
