A life without

How can I read when I have no eyes?
    No sight to behold
    No thought to provoke.
How can I hear when I have no ears?
    No sounds to bare
    No tone is fair.
How can I speak when I have no tongue?
    No lives to swear
    No way to dare.
How can I move when I have no limbs?
    No direction worth traveling
    No path worth riding.
How can I think when I have no thought?
    No purpose is clear
    No life is here.
