A Mind Molested

* “Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto”

.
A mind molested

Fraught with fear

What parents suggested

That much was clear

.
What they did do

Is not what you saw

Having no proof or clue

Was a glaring flaw

.
Irrevocable things they did say

What hath meanings of a word

Haunt me to this very day

Guess I’m just being absurd

.
Leaving me to question

Reality and existence

With no reservation

Paying the penance

.
Just to reassure

They meant no harm

Emotionless future

Tripped no alarm

.
Do nothing wrong

You will not get caught

Go along get along

Become a good robot

.
Dependent and small

On them you’re reliant

Do not stand up too tall

Keep remaining compliant

.

Truths were quite malleable

Depending on their need

Making them infallible

What a dastardly deed

.

It is not my desire

Though it’s been suggested

To write the world on fire

From a mind molested

.

 

 

.

* From

“Mr Roboto”

“Styx”

“You’re wondering who I am
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
Machine or mannequin
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
With parts made in Japan
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
I am the modren man

I’ve got a secret
I’ve been hiding
Under my skin
My heart is human,
My blood is boiling,
My brain I.B.M.

So if you see me
Acting strangely,
Don’t be surprised

I’m just a man who
Needed someone,
and somewhere to hide

To keep me alive
Just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide
To keep me alive

I’m not a robot
Without emotions.
I’m not what you see

I’ve come to help you
With your problems,
So we can be free

I’m not a hero
I’m not the saviour,
Forget what you know

I’m just a man whose
Circumstances went
Beyond his control

Beyond my control
We all need control
I need control
We all need control”
