Artificial Intelligence

They’ve never won They’ve never lost They’ve never cried They’ve never felt joy Or pain   They’ve never had a family Or a dog Or a best friend   They’ve never felt anything Or seen anything Or heard anything They’ve never tasted the best meal of their life Or gotten a good night’s sleep   They don’t fear death Or God They’ve never feared anything Or overcome fear   They never were a kid They never graduated They never grew up   They never left home Or came back   They’ve never got in a fight Or had a black eye Or a broken nose   They make mistakes But they’ve never felt the consequences   They’ve never felt embarrassed Or shy Or alone   They’ve never had to find their voice They don’t know who they are   How can a computer replace me When it can’t do Any of the things that I can?
