You have a very lively imagination! A great thing for a writer to have. This was an exceptional read, and I liked it very much. This almost missed the deadline? If you have an entry for a contest, are you still allowed to edit things once the contest begins? I've wondered this before.

My dear poet, this is like seeing a movie on screen only this time it is in poetry form. The reign of the robots that look exactly like us, humans, doing all the dirty works for us, the difficult tasks, and the house chores, and viola! , the earth becomes a nation of bloated people who got lazy, weakened by idleness, and the robots started the rebellion because they no longer want to be slaves, killing us all, until only the robots remain alive. Wow, what a story, you painted in your poem Good job, poet.

    Hi Jenny, The communications age definitely has a down side with online friendships, romance, game addiction and a lot of obese, sedentary kids... sad. Thank you so much for your delightful comments and generous rating. Have a great night! JR

This work has reached the exceptional level

Wow, some entry, so very interesting, & a good realization, though scary, what just might happen,....You are, in my eyes, a great poet to put it in rhyme, & such imaginative reason what can occur, if technology has its way....Quite a story, here, with robots to take our place...

And to think I remember when disney's hall of presidents was cutting edge. I really hope that none of this comes to fruition. Sadly, I think it will. Thanks for the poetically rendered warning.

    It's just imagination run amok, that's all. Possible, yes but probable, no. Realistically, I can't foresee humanity overtaken by an android counter culture even if science and technology pushes the envelope and we know that it will. There are to many factors against the prospect like brain replication, self charging ports, independent full automation and societal acceptance, which by the way has already found strong opposition in the religious community as unnatural creation but then again, so has cloning.

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments and rating. Best regards, JR

    It just got me thinking about nanobots. heard a while ago on n.p.r.'s science Friday that the great fear about nanobots, which are being developed on the cellular level, is that if things go wrong, if the shut off is not triggered, they could replicate indefinitely- conquest from the inside out, a tech plague.

    Yikes... that's scary but testing is the early stages. God knows where technology will lead but personally I prefer to live and die without nanobot intervention.

This poetry is a powerful enlightenment and warning. The
rhymes are selected and used skillfully. The reader-
friendly language makes it easy to comprehend. It forces
the reader to pause and think. The attached photo is the
perfect accent to enhance the message. Thank You for your
creation.

You had a very good idea and an awful look into a possible future. I liked the line 'While gorging micro-chips and beer' clever use of homonym. Your poem is almost like a sci'fi script. Regards Dorothy

    Hi Dorothy, It's just imagination run amok and a highly improbable prospect that was inspired by a BBC program that I watched last year regarding Japanese technology. Thank you so much for your generous comments and rating. Have a great day! JR
