the nuclear family


In a nation far from here, several big explosions occurred 
of such a magnitude,  the cohesion of humanity has
the body, the brain, lost connection with the soul  
the rebuilding didn't take long in a nation of smart and
hard-working people, whose new motto was "niceness" 
Modern houses were built, and smart furniture and shiny walls where
a few nice paintings lacked any marks of intrusive souls hung
Young families had fewer children, one or two, children 
tend to get in the way of the prosperity of success 
since the land was based on niceness, people got married
without the high, drama that happens when souls are involved
Philosophy, religion and intellectual ideas were absent 
TV had little news from abroad but filled programs with 
gentle comedy, nice soap opera, and sweet animal programs
when it was reported, the population was shrinking a little
if anything was done about this, but it was getting worse
especially when robots that looked human, and could be
commanded by thought control, came on the market
Many men instead of going true, the trite ritual of courting 
bought female robots looking like a beautiful woman of
about twenty-five, who also could small talk
In the bar, they were called C.S. M. D. Y
Then came the male version for women, a nice robot 
looking twenty-five forever; after that, fewer and fewer
children born and the population was in free fall
as years went by there were more robots than people
and the nation, which had based its motto on niceness
and had banned aggression, was invaded, and 
the original population that was left banished from view
as philosophers said, the people, the survivors 
a great
the explosion had eradicated themselves
