[GUEST POETRY]

ToddleRIO

by Lexi Haberman

Is he one of us?
Or is he he something else?
Was he brought by the stork?
Or manufactured for the store shelf?

Reality blurred, sentience questioned.
Humanity's achievements, time of great reflection.
What makes a human?
Soon we'll have to create an answer
To this conundrum.
The truth we frequently fear to seek,
when it threatens our ego of being unique.

If we can't get past the skin
And bask in everyones character
If we can't get past the closet
Then how shall we profit?

Is he one of us?
Or is it just a thing?
Who is alive when
Our children see the same?

You can't beseech
Such beauty
and innocence
How far has our hate
Gotten with viral resilience?

Reality blurred, sentience questioned.
Humanity's achievements, time of great reflection.
What makes a human?
Soon we'll have to create an answer
To this conundrum.
The truth we frequently fear to seek,
when it threatens our ego of being unique.

"And as always, I am your proverbial punching bag. So don't forget to abuse me, because I may just push you too far."
