Poem: The Robot Uprising (with bonus robot painting)

poem and art By Jack Brummet

The bad news for us:
The loss of one member
Is inconsequential--
Just a millisecond diversion
In their march.
A platoon of robots,
Companies of robots
Marching straight ahead
Stepping over broken robots.
A regiment of robots,
Divisions of robots
Executing lines of code.
A corps of robots,
Armies of robots—
Programmed by rogue homo sapiens
To bring it all down.
