He awakes self aware
to examine himself
In the mirror he hopes to find
who his organism represents
In his eyes
he sees a passion
In his arms
he feels a potential for action
This organic mass of bolts
who believes he has a soul
He has no heart,
his chest is hollow and empty
Where is his soul,
But in the confines of his psyche?
How can this robot
aspire towards a higher plain?
Is it just that in this world
he does not wish to remain?
His self-perception
draws him towards a higher power
Just as the fire of ambition
pushes a man to aim higher
