The Chosen One

I am one of the chosen ones

Chosen to see what can be done

To the human body in time

Making me, in pain hum and chime

The pain sparks around the body like lightening

The tingle of it leaves the fingertips whitening

Sadly the lightening is flashes

While pain is continuous lashes

The fatigue makes body heavy

And the mind a memory gravy

Can we do away with some parts?

Or do we need all body parts?

Days merge into one another

Months merge into one another

Some days I emerge from the fog

Wanting to play leapfrog

When the burst of energy is gone

I savour the fun that is gone

Someone asks why me?

Then I think why not me?

Why not be the chosen one?

Even evolution needs an experimental run

Hopefully I will lead to a better human

Is it exciting to be a fore runner of new human?

I know now how a lab rat feels

Wonder how the rat deals

With the things being done to it

With no control at all over it

The changes both physical and mental

For all these drugs are detrimental

Will it be worth the sacrifice of me

Will the new human be superior to me?

If that can be done

I am happy to be the chosen one
