Robot Prostitutes

have you heard the *****festering
about the robot prostitutes in the making?
heard the christians & republicans
whining their way into a “debate”
about the moral concerns that might come about
as a result of having a robot do
what an exploited, sex trafficked individual
might once have?

see, if robots start doing the street corners
or dancing in the cubbies in Amsterdam,
there might not be the chance for any diseases
to crawl their way into those who frequent 
this specific kind of escape,
an escape, of course, which fictional characters like “jesus,”
“moses” & “muhammad,” etc. might frown upon,
if in fact,
they were real.

one step away from diseases that have been used as threats by
the religious, is one step in the direction of a more sane, healthy,
humanity---
much like clinics that allow addicts to do their drug of choice
within the confines of a safe, sterile setting,
where if any complications arose, they would be handled with utmost 
clinical care,
a robot prostitute will make things safer &
those that still are rotting away with their storybook “gods”
(whose wrath concerning these frowned upon methods of escape
depends upon the consequences which presently arise from their practice)
are twitching in their skivvies---
yet, one might think that these public protestors 
would be the first in line to purchase such new technology
for use at home, when the spouse is out & about,
because after all,
no “holy” book covered robot prostitutes,
did they.
