Man is a maquina, spanish for machine. I don't understand Spanish or my fellow man sometimes, reason for my title.
Flesh and blood,
being of mood.
Good or no good.
Functional until death,
born of poor or of wealth,
no telling what kind of health.
Known upon arrival,
big part of survival.
Rests doing the night,
rises in the day to work or fight,
God blessed,
or devil down right evil expressed.
Suppose to be free,
but some never see,
one thing about it,
there's always a fee.
Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust,
somewhere in between work he must.
Life offers no guarantee,
other than the next second he may see.
Maybe not even that,
be lucky to live to get fat.
Nothing but a machine,
created by a God never seen.
