The poem below the fold needs work. I would like some feedback on which ideas and metaphors work for you.
What should be salvaged in the next attempt at wrestling with remote controlled weapons?
Robots Killing Men
by Carl Nyberg
Terminator showed a vision
Of machines against men
We live in a world
Of men against men
Like the beginning
Of Running Man
Food riots in streets
Arnold refuses to shoot
Only our police
Aren't so heroic
Rubber bullets, tear gas, batons
Pepper spray and Stop n Frisk
If those in power
Want beatings
Police will comply
Until fealty improves
But drones and robots
Are the future
Weapons used remotely
No conscience, no risk
It starts over there
But the people are the enemy
Tribal region villagers
Pose no real risk
Guinea pigs for
Weapons tests
The real enemy
Is at home
The people who
Could change the economic system
Their labor not needed
The retain memories and delusions
Democracy, rights
And justice
The may discover solidarity
And demand concessions
Accountability, rights
Taxes, jobs, redistribution of wealth
Illegitimate power
Fears being taken away
Immunities necessary
Any accountability is a bitch
So they hire scientists
And engineers to build
Build the perfect weapons
Controlled remotely
No conscience, always loyal
And profitable to boot!
