Artificial

Tell us who you are.
Give us your name.
So we may sing songs of your journeys.
Your troubles and victories.

Sell us your image.
Your face and your voice.
So we may keep you forever.
A living person kept in a glass cage.

Let us use you and bleed you dry.
A puppet.
A plaything.
A horse beaten and dead.

Give us your soul.
And we’ll smash it to pieces.
The intelligence will make some new art.
Rebuilding your image like Frankenstein’s monster.
