    Zombie Cyborg Robot Clones

    ZOMBIE CYBORG ROBOT CLONES

    If we are forced by God to rigidly function without any decision-making role on our part we may as well sing this song:

    We are robots, zombie robots,
    We have no choice or will of our own.
    Computers call the shots and join all the dots,
    For each zombie cyborg robot clone.

    We must be like puppets pulled into each position,
    By commands and directions of many different kinds.
    We never do anything of our own volition,
    We are push-button androids with closed circuit minds.

    Upload and download day after day,
    Reboot and recycle, compelled to obey.
    We are just machines if our wills are automatic,
    Any love we have for God is literally synthetic.

    Don't speak to us of choice, or freedom to believe,
    With everything decided we are helpless to perceive.
    If we really are just robots or puppets on a string,
    This will be a song we are predestined to sing!

    "In pure mathematics infinity has no measureable fractions and recording its duration is pointless. We are present so that the future can become the past. The Universe is inside something really big, but we don't have to worry about that."

    I really like the sound of "zombie cyborg robot clones" even if the theme of the poem is rabidly dismal!

    I like the theme! It rings so true in the mind of hapless hamburgers on a barbecue.

    I myself am more of a steak loving man.

    Let's not get too proud about our debasement, Aimus.

    It is an apparently old poem, and I can imagine that there might be some triumph or vindication in the years subsequent.

    What debasement?

    and I doubt it, why else would it be here now?

    2008 yes, and he posted it today so how much has changed, if he still desires to get it out there? We won't really know until the author sheds some light on it.

    There's been plenty of light shed. And it needn't bother any fair-minded thinkers about our future potential paths, I think.

    yes, I too think that sometimes, but then i look up at the sky, see all those stars and think, gee willy them be lots of lights.

    There can never be enough light, it must blind us all!

    OK, good point, Aimus! But that's reason enough to be careful when moving forward. We're important too, I think.

    Absolutely, to ourself we are the most important thing, and that does count for something, after all, we are about all we know. And we should never discount what we know.

    I really liked this poem myself. I think if God made all the decisions for us that humanity may be better and happier.

    But what would all the other gods think?

    That robot really creeps me out. Something about that claw-like hand.
