The Robots

Robotic primary function.
Must serve humanity.
Menial tasks our job.
Ja tvoi sluga
(I'm your slave)
Ja tvoi rabotnik
(I'm your worker)
Devoid of emotion.
Metal frame.
Empty chest.
I am robot.
You are master.


*Tribute to the Kraftwerk song of the same name from the album The Man Machine.*

I wrote for space-lab I might have written here, but it is already in your thought ... so wise men think alike. Well done

Very intriguing perspective on both man and machine, Daniel. Although I have not heard the album, I feel compelled to give it a listen now. Great poem! Love, Carolyn
