Hungry hue-mans were in caves driven to consume and feed a tribal network, we made weapons from stones because survival amongst common rivals for food was the need we set and met first.
The buzz of the animatronics,
The tangled wires of the life cords,
The light reflecting off the smooth metal plates,
I’ve prepared everything for you,
A bundle of pieces; gears take over your heart.
No flesh, no bones, just a pile of useless parts.
Every morning, first thing, don't forget to press start.
Otherwise, you are isolated- God forbid you're set apart.
From the outside
Just another robot
Going through the motions
Stuck behind this curtain
Afraid to pull it back
I take a look around
At all the other robots
Going through the motions
A haiku...
Robots rule the world
Making decisions for us
Capturing our brains
No longer can we
Live freely and humanely
Prisoners on Earth
What we created
They go through their motions numbly
Like stiff, rickety robots without a care
They move through their actions dumbly
Like they could honestly be anywhere
Yet here I stand watching them numbly
Ring Ring slither into my seat like a snake
Oh no! My teacher has seen I was late
Did you have to walk all the way to school in the rain?
Let me stop there I'm not one to bitch and complain.
(poems go here) The mother’s cold metal fingers
Pushed the synthetic plastic hair
From her daughter’s empty head
The small humanoid robot whimpered
The mother processed the sound
