Freedom of Restriction

Deflected, crushed by the social retardation, Not loved, ‘cos he’s altogether unaccepting, Active learning the robot’s mouth action, So he can't contextualise, there’s no blessing. Neither me nor him meet and we sweep by, There’s no connection from his ANDs and ORs, Only citadels to weather the reactive cry, When my nouns are pocketed by many cursors. Where’s the memory bank and why the chat? The bus is long gone and I'm open, vulnerable, There’s no room for social construction’s mat, To yield identity’s dynamic, recursive turntable. Yes, microchips and logic gates shouldn't enable, Machine learning at the cost of root foundations; Your group, community, your niche and fable, Ignite the necessary conversation of care situations.  Ok, so can we build a robot? A care robot? Indeed care assistance is definitely reducible, To only a small number of abstractions, clot, ‘Cos love does not evade the comprehensible. Doors class as access, also pavements, steps, Only three types of garments, two of people, Friend or foe, but a cloud for certain parapets, And who’s boss is said before, it's programmable.

Dominique, your talent is astounding. Absolute critical, beautiful poem. You have expressed the encroaching aspect of robot integration with finesse. Splendid rhyme format.

Thank you Jasmine. It’s about if a care robot would be human enough to assist you most properly.
