we're still human

we're still human
in leased cars
in rented apartments
in irish pubs
in open air concerts of classical music
in death bed

we're still human
our conscience has not yet been
traded for silicon chip

we're still human
in weddings at banks in church
taking a leak eating out
in a fancy restaurant
our language is not yet
down to ones and zeros
we can still tell
natural and dirty jokes

we're still human
not yet europeans
not yet russians
not yet americans
and even they
are not machines yet

and there is
no better word than yet
