I’m this machine of flesh and blood
I hush my thoughts in the rain
The tears you cry, my lord
I forbid my mind from logic
To sink fang-teeth in desires
And forget to think of you
As I rapidly and continuously sin
By convincing my mind that I can’t forgive him
Yet here I am, still in love
Still having that desire that you forbid
But I am deaf and faithless
For I desire to love him
When you, my lord, has forbidden
The link between us to stay connected
I am a human
I am desirous and faithless

Great concept
That first line says it all, exept that, -'I Am' is far greater than that. I Am is observing that machine and using it to learn and grow. It is said,' If you want to control a wild (bucking) Buffalo.(your lower self). You must first pursuade it to keep all four feet on the ground at the same time
So thats the first line sorted(LOL).

as are we all human
Beautiful work -
Strong in its meaning and imagery, it sends out a message, one that people have gone through. 'I am a human
I am desirous and faithless' Was a line that really connects to quite a few people. Yes, strong words from a strong poet. Beautiful! Keep it up!
