Ruled By Emotions

I will not be ruled by my emotions, Thus I shan’t love, I can’t hate, I won’t live, I shall obliterate, Like spoken word with no debate, You and I are no duplicate, My body shall be a suitcase, Organs packed like folded clothes, Just like an open shoe you see the toes, Thus no friends and many are foes, No happiness only woes, Because that’s the way the robot goes, Neither smile nor tear must flow, Not a fright when appears a crow, At full power alone do my eyes glow, To get no love and give none back, To obey, serve, To torture my humanity, And smother my substance, For everyone else? For nothing?
