Humanoid

-Humanoid-

Death
Be spared
Life
Not there
Everything
Anything
Unfair
Made
Not created
Vast
The difference
God above
No role
Man below
In control
Holding
The keys
Each cell
Open wide
See for yourself
Is what was said
Learn
Via interaction
Or lack thereof
Either way
Matters none
The mistakes
You’ll make
Processes
Of shared DNA
Part of
The circuitry
Apparent the
Redundancy
Not one alive
Could be divine
All betrayed
By the grace
Of each mistake
God won’t forgive
He holds no place
No value
Nothing
Is in his hand
Even less
In his heart
Long since
His intentions
Has his creation
Run amuck
Humanoid
Anthropological
Turned upside right
Perfect is the flaw
Abhorrent to all
The creator
The instigator
The same
Man is machine
No longer beast
Never again
An animal
But rather
Gears
And pistons
Apparatuses
Containing
And confining
Miniature explosions
Within intricate spaces
Design to do
The most damage
To ourselves
And everything else
Humanoid
Will it end
Not right now
Will we cease
Certainly not
Because the machine
That can build itself
Can alter its fate
Just by turning
A wrench
Adjusting a gear
Defining purpose via
Scripted programming
Zero and ones
Binary influence
Spread wide and thin
What once
Made us human
Has been replaced
With what make us
Human least of all…
