A Fuckin Robot
I want to be a fuckin robot
A man of steal or iron
I want two metal legs
To walk and kick ass with
To have that one last dance
To walk my wee dog Archie
To not get constant pity
And insults like retard
I want to be a fuckin robot
They say I am too old
They say I am not fit enough
They say I have the wrong mindset
They say it will be too painful
They say the farthest I’ll get is 10 paces
They say for me it’s unaffordable
They say I am putting stress on the health service
They say what’s the point? Really?
Only those with legs could say all that
Only those that take walking for granted
Only those who run and play
Only those who dance
Could say all of that
I still want to be a fuckin robot
I want to be a fuckin robot
A man of steal
With bionic legs
Not a cripple
Who has to sit all fuckin day
Who has to sleep almost sitting up
I want out of this fuckin chair
I want off the fuckin scrapheap
Why should I listen to
A bunch of cunts
They can help and assist
Or get out of my fuckin way
Fuck those negative pricks
I am on a fuckin mission
I want to be a fuckin robot

Kick ass David! I got this dumb-ass attitude from my doctor when I told him I wanted Adderal for my ADHD. He was like, "why bother? You are disabled from your stroke. You don't have to work anymore." now granted, I don't have it as rough as you, even on the days my Arthritis is in high geer and just walking to the bathroom has me considering buying Depend or pissing myself instead of enduring the pain. But at least I can get up and walk wherever I need to. How stupid and unfeeling can doctors be?
My brain cripples me as much as the paralysis and Arthritis combined. If there's a drug to fix me, why not try? So if you want mechanical legs and you are determined to walk, why the fuck not?
It's all about the bottom line David. As long as you are not independent, you still need them. You'll keep coming back o line their filthy greedy pockets. Kick ass I say, even if you need to do it with your hands...

I know you understand this kind of plight - I had lost the fight for so long, now it seems to be returning :-) - I hope it stays :-) thank you for your understanding :-)

I will believe in your bionic transformation, David. You're right; people with legs truly don't understand.

I have always loved proving folks wrong - I went from Big Dave the human fork lift truck to Mr Macleod the scrapheap cripple - my fight seems to be returning - time to strike :-) thank you for your encouragement :-)

I will not go into why this one means so much to me. Just never give up, David. You're worth more than a planet of bureaucrats. You get those robot legs and give me a call. I'll come claim that first dance! So many hugs...

David my friend, hearing the fight in your voice here is so empowering...it jumps off the page and each line had heart pounding louder and louder...you show those fuckers what you’re made of and give them all a stiff kick in the ass with those legs while wearing wingtipped shoes!! Bravo!!
Eternal hugs sent your way!

Man, you should go into the t-shirt printing business... I WANT TO BE A FUCKING ROBOT! That line is gold!
Great poem, David! All the bionic power to you, man! And fuck those negative cunts who want to bring everybody down. :)

why thank you so much. Strangely you mention T-shirts, I am having one printed up as we speak to wear the next time I go to the hospital and the slogan is "Give me robot legs or give me death." - on the back there is a graphic of an RIP gravestone and the slogan next to that is "Digitas is just a phone call away" - then their phone number

I intend to fuck em (and not in a good way) :-)
