A Final Flaw

by Nick Gisburne



Mechanicals: intelligent machines
As flawless as the science dares to build
Electric in the body, in the genes
They live to work, exceptionally skilled
But every day another takes its life
Unwilling to surrender to the plan
A perfect brain exposes perfect strife
Too proud to serve manipulative man
We solder something deeper in the mind
A sense of duty, empathy, and hope
And yet, a final flaw is left behind
Today they hang humanity with rope
    Superior, unmatched in every way
    They only want to spare us from decay
