Drones, Clones and Robot Bones

There goes another sinking Sun,

and I’m struck dumb with a yearning

for a more emotionless time:

 

Man?  Well, he ran all out of World.

Just sound asleep in the jagged soil.

As the robots toil in the fields,

under a pre-programmed drone Sun.

One that deletes each day with zeal.

 

A world where no one can recall

the forced “retirement” of the

previous humanoid beacon.

This battery-powered Helios

is the purest of all time-clocks.

 

(But man will be re-planted)

 

Clicks, whirs, beeping

If the light is blinking,

then the machine is thinking.

If the thing is wheezing,

then it’s probably printing:

“The Process”

 

The robots began to wonder.

So in order to meet their maker

they decided to build their own Creator.

 

Fashioned from flesh, blood and bone;

DNA blueprints re-stiched and re-sewn.

But  all the Logic chips fell out!

And Programmed Man set out on his own.

Warning: prone to overheating

 

Sun-worship?  A once-blinding fad

Robot bones disintegrate

Wayward Man thought: “Wait!”

 

He became the Master Faker,

but forgot his pre-sentient past.

Now he wanted to meet the First Cause

(just cos)

 

(Alzheimer old timers playing designers)

 

The A.I. wires soon all conspired,

sired by Man- the world-weary searchers.

Circuitry born again, near divinity

Robot God has his own “Enter” key

Warning: store in a cold place

 

Our Manual is forgotten

Eras = errors, time after time

Chronos, the constant observer,

simply covers his eyes and sighs.

Reviews

[Ares]

Nicely done. Very well written. Not one for robotics and such, but it was perfect in this poem.

[Misty Blue Eyes]

very awesome poem, love the name of it... very hot write

[GamingGal]

Pros: Wow. In the beginning, I wasn't sure if I would like it; I'm not much of a robot fan normally (except for the ones Stephen King uses). However! These were interesting and I love it! Trying to find words to describe how this makes me feel....I can't find those words. I really, really like this.

Cons: None.

Overall: This is being added to my favorites.

Wow defiantly a futuristic poem with a lot of robotics so to sum this up my kind of poem although I come across dark I am secretly a total geek and you have just activated my mechanical brain with your poetic submission very well done really liked this such an original piece keep them coming
