Passage 1

There are no places left unsearched in my modern world

Genetic strands they say control my soul

My smiles are nerve endings stretching themselves far

My tears are excited glands secreting some gooey tar

My fear is controlled by adrenalin level

My factory is my living hell

My children are two fused chromosomes

My blue eyes tinted corneas

My thoughts are the effect of my social conditioning

My traumas stem from my complexes

My dreams are a reflection of my inner self

My headaches are caused by my poor diet

My creativity is my left brain, my poor math thanks to my right

My love for food is caused by some strange secretions in my stomach

Oh my Oh my! What am I?

Human or a piece of Science?

Passage 2

I know that one day death will come and knock at my door

She won’t wait for an answer for her knock identifies her

I wonder if I will be scared when I hear that knock

Or will I be brave and say Welcome Home

I know that I too must one day die

And I know it could happen anywhere anyhow anyplace

It’s she who gets to choose the date

All this should make me resigned to my fate

I should be able to indifferent and probably brave

Like the great men who have walked this earth and died

Who said that death is to be welcomed like life

In their dying breath I wonder if they were scared

What lies behind that great door of death? Do you just vanish?

Are you no more? Are you “was there”? no feelings at all?

Or are you seeing but not being seen? Hearing but not being heard?

If I knew would it make me feel better ? Or would it make worse?

I am fascinated by death, and she scares me like hell

I want to find out what happens to me after all

But if I am reduced to nothing then I’ll never know

And even if I learn I won’t be able to tell

And there are times I wish I had never been born

Is that the same as wishing I was dead?

Are the unborn merely the dormant dead?

I find it easier to think that I had never been born than that I am dead.

And what if tomorrow my bike crashed and instantly I died

I would not hear the knock just the door crashing down on me
