Robotification of Myself

She took
a scissor-
an icy cold,
iron Scissor
cut the strings
with her metal tethers,
sprayed oil
on its fragile
sheets, let
it burn
till strings
shrieked
in woe

The
anger
dancing
and love
screeching.
The Passion merrymaking,
somersaulting
and dancing,
while compassion
fighting
in fear,
incarcerated
and burning
in flames
shrieking.

The senses
burnt, lost
trapped, murdered
and Massacred,
wounded I stood,
as the
technician
came and
replaced
the heart
with a carbonator,
the lively strings
with electrical wires,
flesh with
iron fragments..
turned blood
in to adamentium,
cleansed me
from sentiments
and transformed
me in to
a lifeless,
mechanical,
cold blooded,
heartless Robot
devoid of
any humanity.

I love the total process of your being a robot.Bleep..bleep..bleep...You are now indeed a movable physical structure, a motor of a poetic talent, a realistic sensor system, a power supply of poetry and a creative "brain" that controls all of the reader's mind.Great work Shan.

The burning of senses and transformation to a lifeles robot is described with stark but eloquently terse line and content Shan. A powerful piece.
