cumbersome copperbot
outcasted in halves with the have not's spread equally amongst vagrants - shame there is no variant no golden chariots for the coward lost only stones and flowered plots those at odds…copperbot found solace in. his actions concrete...each choice a solid sin sure of being unsure he was a master of it a king of fraud, mastering doctored traits an offered bait to those who couldn’t afford to wait a taste so fake, he never believes what he creates for the poision is yours to intake looking for shoe ins, always a foot in a foot out copperbot was clever to deceive his cowardice those that fell for his lies where left powerless his shady prowess was ravenous without end bravery by association, heroism from disengagement a distant soldier, from a far he fights the war tending to wounds he never earns… kicking boots with borrowed spurs leaving seas of tears and soured shores cumbersome copperbot no one survives his onslaught even in after thought his sting lingers along and rots if you've been burned the flames still scorn after decades the scars seem like they’ve not worn a tan that never heels, a chasing pain that never peels out of tune and out of rhythm with his fellow peers he plays his instruments to those who dare to hear laying beside you with your thoughts as his dreams your wants are his schemes….your life his to redeem disconnected from those he loves… yet hes a leech spewing venom with a rhetoric made blasphemous speech a hazardous creep... answers to no god…sacrilegious indeed. His purpose? Creating ignorance in those who lead Creating barriers for those who are led like sheep Topping freedom when freedom is abundant Closing eyes and deeming opening them redundant. A definition of fear he personifies. Leaving you broken and cast aside Choking like breathing in pesticide A fear of crossing bridges And getting lost in between the ropes stitching Do not give in. |

Enjoyed this one heaps Innovator. The interesting thing about it is the tone of the language, it is kind of naive. E.g., " looking for shoe ins, always a foot in a foot out " the tone was describing this cumbersome copperbot (Robot?) with a kind of simple charm. Perhaps the actual title and the name 'cumbersome' contributes to this effect. Pretty certain it was intentional (like the ending "Do not give in") gives a big clue. Thought you maybe lost that interesting tone a bit towards the end when you started writing about leeches and blasphemous speech. Regardless, it was still nice to read.

when you put effort into your craft (and maybe even a proofread/a refinement!) i can dig your pseudo-poetry, Pat Benatar.
