i was a robot

i was a robot

i was a robot for many days i think
depending on how one knows

what a robot is i searched

once i heard that robots exist

who knows what they are
who defines what they are

i felt it

that absence of control
that command not in my own

do what you are told
without question to be so bold

robots are good that way
following their master to the extent

they can

unthinking till the last what

when the control curtain draws
the strings exposed

the robot might hold true
and what if not

is eternal might it go
a different way than programmed

according to someone else say no
only for once and the wires rewire

could be good could be bad
could be everything and sad
