Unfeeling insect eyes brim with warmth and love
Juxtaposed against the digital lenses
Of robots executing an instruction loop
An injury to one is an injury to all
In the robot hive an isolated attack
Against a single member may shift
The entire hive to act in concert
To solve the dilemma
The hive's seeming random actions
Are suspended
The protocols lead
To reflexive redeployment
The goods news for humans
Is that no robot
Is smarter than the next
If you fool one
You fool
Them all
The bad news for humans
The loss of one member
Is inconsequential
A millisecond diversion
Think of the inexorable march
A platoon of robots a company of robots
Stepping over broken robots
A regiment of robots a division of robots
Executing lines of code
A corps of robots an army of robots
Utterly indifferent to the fate
Of their brothers and sisters in arms
Programmed by rogue homo sapiens
To make it all come down.
