Human Robot Poem by Sylvia Chidi

You display robotic behavior
As if on a robotic endeavor
You are a robotic sensation
On a robotic destination
But this feels so unusually mechanical
More emotions are shown by animals

You dance like a robot
You talk like a robot
You think like a robot
You look like a robot
You act like a robot
I fear you have lost the plot

This is so technological
We are losing what is cultural
Everything appears cold and calculated
Never old but new and always elevated
We are on a robotic march
Left, right and center and it is a robotic whack

You react like a brand new robot
The fact is you are a human robot
This is a double calamity in a single plurality
For you have misplaced all your individuality
Everything about you feels dreamlike
And there are more of you riding on their bikes
With my image tainted, I am wholly enraged

Beware of the human robot
That cannot cook good food in a pot
Beware of the human robot
That will eventually take over the human spot
There will be no longer jackpots but rather onslaughts
No one knows half of what is in our future snapshot
But a human robot
Will never know how to enjoy a lovely bottle of scotch!
