Imitation of Life
He walks and talks like humans
he eats and sleeps and winks
but like a piece of rotting meat
this imitation stinks
He’s void of all humanity
each word he speaks, a lie
this fake is like a plastic doll
that cannot laugh or cry
He feels no love or empathy
he’s poisoned, heart and soul
consumed with hate and misery
he never will be whole
