A Robot’s Lament


At my place of work
I overheard a comment
There is the ‘thing ‘
That’s replacing men .

Saddened me to see
That he felt threatened
Whereas I was envious
Of his essence 

What is this Life
If I can’t Care
Not respond to
Challenge and Dare

Regimentation is in my blood
Circuitry rigidly designed
Must do and move only
On paths pre-defined

I don’t feel for anyone
Nobody feels for me
No scope for gratitude
No place for Empathy

There are no Self – Help books
Which can help me evolve
No experiences to be had
No intentions to resolve

Am powerless to execute
In the face of adversity
Innovation is not given to me
And am devoid of diversity

There is no give and take
Nor any slack or pull
When set by someone on my path
I forge ahead like a bull
