What am i?
What have I become
Transcending humanity
Speaking Prosthetically
Acting Hippocratically
I’ve changed..and some
Am I still me?
Have I crossed the line
Thinking hypothetically
Pacemaker supportability
Choosing Immortality
Over Life’s Stop sign?
I Cyborg
Part man, part robot
Resolving Man’s frailty
Positive infallibility
Infinite possibility
Life’s best shot
Me, Robot
Am I truly free?
I’m Transuniversal
Even submersible
Truly non reversible
I’m Mr No-body

Cybernetic Organism:
"Cyborg" is a contraction of "cybernetic organism," highlighting the fusion of biological and mechanical systems.
A cyborg is a being with integrated organic and biomechatronic (mechanical or electronic) body parts, a term coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline. In a narrow sense, it refers to a person with technologically enhanced or restorative implants, like prosthetic limbs or pacemakers. In the broadest sense, however, it includes anyone whose daily life, sense of self, or physiological functioning is intertwined with technology, a view explored in cyborg anthropology by thinkers like Donna Haraway.
