I Am Not a Robot - Sedoka Contest

I was a machine,
     Full of valves, pipes and wires,
          Execute as per programmed,

Commands are in sync,
     To be leased or for hire,
          To maintain corporate scam,

Something sparked within,
     Burnt with chemical fire,
          Happenstance of the unplanned,

The mind starts to think,
     My Heart beats to aspire,
          Awareness starts to ascend,

No more a machine,
     Break down the empire,
          I am more than just a Man.
