Fragile Bipedal

I am a machine
I am in need of servicing
My circuit board is on the fritz again
My filters are all filthy
My motor’s overheating
I am a machine
Getting worn down from self-abuse
Often too confused
By this software that has no practical use
Homo sapien: testosterone and estrogen
I intend to propagate the species
I’ll parade around on stage until a candidate is willing
Homo sapien: trying to make sense of what I am
Often terrified. .. why am I here?
Why am I alive, with unbridled reason?
Alive, burdened with free will
Alive, and searching in vain for some greater purpose
I am a machine
I am a machine
Fragile bipedal: equipped to outrun my predators
But many beasts can overtake me
I exercise my wit in hopes to never meet the lion’s teeth
Alive, for whatever reason
Alive, and scared as hell
Alive, and searching in vain for some greater purpose
