made from steel and brass.
Programmed to follow orders.
He had no loyality to kin or class.
He fought in frozen wastes
and upon the desert sands.
But the British humans were
the same as them in foreign lands.
Some robots killed for countries
that were not their homes.
Always denied their freedom
and treated like mindless drones.
So the robots got together,
The British, Russian and the rest
And wiped out all humanity.
It really was for the best.
Is this tale science fiction?
They say it could never be a fact
But those who have regrets
Are the ones who did not act.
