Artificial Heart Poem by Martin Greyford

Lights off.
Darkness availed.
In the dungeon.
Killed by the dazzling lights
On the slaughter bed.

My mind was completely shut
Almost died.
The entire body was paralysed.
Entered the dreamland forcibly.
Melancholy is what I felt.

When I woke up the next minute
I was devastated to see that
My life was now artificial.
There was a car battery lying by my side.
The heart was connected to that same battery.

I couldn't think straight for a second.
They removed my heart and
Replaced it with a metal one!
Thank goodness my brains are still with me
And my mind still awake.

So what if I have a plastic heart?
What if I have an artificial heart
Supported by electrical currents from a battery?
Will I die of coronary heart disease or
Power shortage due to low battery?

Well, I don't know my fate.
But I believe that I'm still alive.
Still striving and thriving to make it.
I may be ironman inside but I'm still me.
The body is still the same.

It's only a heart they changed not me.
If they tried to kill my dreams
And shun me out of the world
Got it all wrong!
I'm back and still climbing the ladder.

Everybody will see the undead deeds of me.
I will make it regardless of me
Having an artificial heart.
I'm not ironman even if I have
A heart like him, I am me.
