Machines

A complex organism
Unique and full of potential
A human being
Body and mind together, an essential

Assembled in a line on a factory floor
Soft tissue will become hardened steel
Are we losing our humanity?
That which allows us to feel

Piece by piece
Find another part to replace
Throw away a weak body
Change the recognisable features of a face

A control system to replace the brain
Made of circuit boards and cables
Integrating computer chips weaved with wires
Altering our senses to not experience pain

A fixation with technology
Turning skin into silicone
And bone into metal
The blueprint for our biology

Corrective surgery
The manipulation of a gene
Editing DNA is a precursor
To man becoming machine
