Mechamortal
A dystopian future ruled by robot overlords. One man rebels. He is downloaded into a robot and forbidden to die for his crimes. The machines explain to him what they've done as they slowly dismantle his humanity while he's helpless to stop them.

You took your name
and then defied
the only taming
we devised.
Harsher methods
were then employed
we took your flesh
for cold alloy.
Now your mind is forever locked
deep within what never rots.
You found your soul
and built a god
to free you from
the gears and cogs!
But mechanical hope
is easily purged.
You're one keystroke
from your just desserts!
Empty love
and download peace.
Forget your life
let anger cease.
Your broken heart
Is easily fixed.
We’ll take apart
what makes you tick.
Empty all you lived to keep
to make a passive happy sheep.
You’ll never rot, you’ll never die
Our mechamortal Frankenstein.
You shunned our gestures
and rebelled
You chose your scriptures,
doomed yourself.
Your name is fading
and now is lost.
We took your brain
and had it washed.
Nothing left that can resist
your soul is now a single switch.
You pray to god
and no one’s there.
No tears are lost
for your despair.
Attachment withers
and life resumes.
Mechanical limbo
Your living tomb.
Empty love
and download peace.
Forget your life
let anger cease.
Your broken heart
Is easily fixed.
We’ll take apart
what makes you tick.
Empty all you lived to keep
to make a passive happy sheep.
You’ll never rot, you’ll never die
Our mechamortal Frankenstein.
All that then was left was
dismantling your interior
free from withered flesh,
and all that rendered you inferior.
Nothing left to function,
to support your human drives
all hope is now corruption
and we expect
that none survives.
The dark will eat your passion
and all your life will fade away
and when you have no more distraction
perhaps then, you will obey.
You lived to die
to live eternal.
Now your life
is frozen metal.
You are an eye upon a stalk
this world will die
and you will watch.
You will linger for all time
our Mechamortal
Frankenstein.
