Poème: More than a machine

Un poème écrit les 14 et 20 novembre 2011, en pensant notamment aux Cylons, robots d'une des meilleures séries ayant jamais existé, Battlestar Galactica (le remake datant des années 2000). Accompagné d'un dessin datant de 2009, fait sur modèle.

My skin is metal
My skin is cold
That’s just normal
I’m told
And why do I care
Anyway?
I just have software
So they say

Do I not bleed, do I not feel?
Who cares my heart is an engine
Who’s to say I’m not for real
I am more than a machine

My eyes are glassy
My eyes are sore
They allow me to see
Much more
Than pixels and light
You know
And sometimes at night
They glow

Do I not fall, do I not hurt?
When you push me into the dirt
Who’s to say I don’t have a soul
Who’s to deprive me of a goal

Do I not bleed, do I not feel?
Who cares my heart is an engine
Who’s to say I’m not for real
I am more than a machine
