Android Maybe?
Human??
was does this mean?
android maybe?
programed by society
told what to think
what to feel
built in a factory
these emotions are not my own
snap crackle and pop
as the circuit board stops.
What am i?
Are these memory's my own?
downloaded to me by computer's
distributed by a router
the metallic hum
of circuits freezing
in the cold winter rain
and yet i cannot feel
the gentle patter of rain drops
cascade over my unfeeling heart.
what am i?
I watch a butterfly
fly the circumference of my head
it land's in the
palm of my false hand
puzzled, i examine, identify,
i am told that it is beautiful
i destroy it
like humans i destroy because i can
destroy so things can never be
am i human?
or a android maybe?

Cheers my friend, it could be the human thinking he is a android or a android thinking he is human and are they slowly becoming the same?
Many thanks as always

Cheers strider, i wrote this after reading your "Roy batty" poem, what i love about blade runner is the ambiguity of deckard is he or isn't he a replicant? i think he could will be one of the ones who escaped? it you can watch the movie with that in mind and it still works and makes sense.
many thanks for reading and the inspiration.

This made me think of when I was younger actually, I was convinced I wasnt human.
And after I saw Et and some more films, me and my brother used to wait for starships at night...
Thanks for bringing back some good memories, Marcus!
Life beyond outer space is really intriguing

I believe in the future it will be difficult to tell or know.
I stick my middle finger up to society.
Great write Marcus.
