While all the robots beep, all the people weep

All the clever people
Put their heads together.
They made a metal brain
Bound to last forever

But what they didn’t realise
Was that they couldn’t make a metal heart.
This metal brain can theorise
But it cannot make good metal art.

For all of ever, people
Have know about the end.
They cling to things found meaningful
Trying to pretend.

But when the robots came to be,
We realised love is real
Because something that a metal box
Cannot do is feel.
