Robot

Robot Tin-can man. Input, circuit, and overdrive. Shadow of the future and the past. Movement hidden, you are not alive. Programs burned and running fast. What else can you do? Wakening up every morning, and not able to read the news. Passing a breeze God gave you. Barely feeling the I love you~s. Your data has been set to self destruct! Walking around all confused. While your memory is set on stuck. A heart not made to rust. Hanging laundry out in the rain. Lazy technician you can't trust. Look what he's made out of you. Ready to blow your thrust! Compute- abort- system to self destroy. Restoring the joy sucked out of you. Input: input: information . Wipe out the old, store in new. Delete all files to recycle bin. System reboot to life again. With a new program that reads: Feeling like a human once again. (This robot is on) .(self shut down!) P.D. was here!

that was truly amazing . if there was a 100 rating on this thing you would get it from me but since it can only go to 7 i guess that's all i can give ..

I really like this. You hammered in what makes them unlike us. Sad isn't it? I am such a big fan of robots. Makes me miss the future. Patty

Your poem reads like it could be part of you; all natural and flowing from your head to the paper - gliding. Thank you.
