There's this robot <br />And then there's me <br />Who's to say who's more real? <br />Which one has not a heart? <br />What determines how we feel? <br /> <br />Inside the bot you will find <br />Nothing less then a brilliant mind <br />And a heart that was given <br />Clear for all to see <br />And I myself almost believed <br />That I built a better me <br /> <br />The robot thinks that having a heart feels good <br />Although it is often misunderstood <br />It speaks of what the mind dares not tell <br />Maybe it has learned it's lesson well <br /> <br />Feeling the emotions it longed to express <br />Has it brought more then stress? <br />Is it better to not have known the situation <br />Better to not feel the sorrow or any elation <br /> <br />If you want to know the answer <br />You will have to wait and see <br />You can go ahead and ask the robot... <br />But is the robot-- me? !<br /><br />Belle Contreras<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/given-a-heart/
