I am not a number

I have noticed the decrease in free will, individuality and increase in the mind numbing repeatition in the work place and home. My boss, called me on my day off, to remind me to be at work, though, I have a perfect attendence and outstanding job performance record. I wrote this short poem on the fly, just seconds before I wrote this description.

I am not a number

Code to be entered in the data base of life

Not a Robot waiting for instruction

No nanites in my blood

Eat

Sleep

Repeat

This is not for me

I am not a number

I have a soul
