Poem: Humanobotic

 

Humanobotic

 

i didn’t ask to be born

and suffer these neurons

while the bombs keep dropping

and injustice keeps denying

and the fascists take over

without courage to be honest

about the cult they spread.

 

lies lies lies

 

the truth never wins

and when it appears

you have to be patient,

and hope that your voice

doesn’t get lost in 

greed, bigotry, hate and violence,

while robots, drones, and AI keep coming

on a planet overrun by billions of mouths

led by a few dictatorial penises.

 

nothing about the Earth’s

exploited consumed developed splendor

has prepared anyone who is decent for this,

or anyone who wants to be good,

or any of the doomed manifold animals 

for this.
