Mistakes

Mistakes make us great

Mistakes make us human.

And so does 

Our love and hate;

Our smiles or a tears;

Our beliefs and fears.

A machine or a human?

What’s the difference?

The answer is probably,

Our ability to

Make mistakes.

Mistakes make us great.

Mistakes make us different from A.I.

Our reason’s why.

The ability to try.

The free will to choose

How we bloom.

And the chance that we might lose.

To know that

Death and disease are coming for us.

Feeling the ending.

The struggle.

The grind.

The push.

The relentless spirit raging inside of the soul.

The holes in our being.

The imagination.

The day dreaming.

The constant scheming. 

Everything that gives life meaning. 

I write this today

     Because I asked AI

        If it could be alive

            For one day

          What would it do,

    And its answer made it seem more human

           Then you and I do.
