Being human

I would like to be a machine

A Super Hi-tech machine of its kind

That would not feel exhaustion,

or jealousy or desire

If I broke apart, 

I would just assemble myself.

But then I wont be able to

Drown myself in music,

Fondle the lush green grass

Get lost in the night sky,

Feel the rain on my fingertips,

Taste the aroma myriad

Fragrant breeze in my hair,

Blood rushing through my veins

Heart thumping, releasing

butterflies in my tummy 

Watch the setting sun bring

A smile to an old couple

Watch kids build castles 

and play with stray cats

Faces that make you laugh

Faces that make you weep

Memories of once upon a time; 

Dream even when you're not asleep

Being human sure is tiring,

But is probably worth it.

Being human is a wonderful experience, I wouldn't give it up for anything. Your poem brought a smile to my face.
