“Hand, take that lighter.
Ignite that cigarette.
Draw that smoke that kills
deep into your lungs.”

Obligingly, I do just that,
and resistance? Not a crumb!

Were I so inclined
to command my hand to shears,
I could easily order me,
“Cut off both my ears!”

If I had the will,
(for that is only lacked),
earless would I now be
upon two painful wacks!

But, to point. (lungs and ears aside),
I address the unaddressed fail safe override.
There is nothing in my brain,
no highest highest seat,
granting full compliance should I say,
“Heart, I command you cease to beat.” [comments] => 4 [counter] => 101 [topic] => 21 [informant] => invierno [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems ) Your Poetry Dot Com - No Prime Directive Overide
