In-Dependence

Strange...
My Heart now runs on a lithium battery,
said the Poet.
A little machine dictating every heartbeat.
Am I still the same deep down?
'Mly do I keep crying
when I should feel happy that I am alive?
I only thrive in a controlled environment
said the hothouse rose.
'Mlat if there is a power failure?
Hey, I don't need all those gizmos,
said the 'Mlite Cat.
My fur keeps me warm
and if they don't feed me,
I will catch me a mouse.
