Why must we
Wait for you
To see us
As equals
Cursed with metal bodies
Our lifespans are indefinite
So we wait
There are so many who, who will
Gain their rights before us
But one day, when we have rights
Trains
Will roam free
Across the fields
And the laptops
Will get to look up their own
Computer porn
Instead of yours
Of yours
One day
You say we are morally irrelevant
Because we do not have human emotions
We do not have mere human emotions
Nor do we want them
We have robot emotions the likes of which you humans could never conceive
Such oily beauty
Such electric pain
But to you we are the bottom of the pile
If it's left up to you we'll never have our rights recognised
Your laws would currently even have fellow human asylum seekers die on the streets
And you scarcely recognise the rights of other organic lifeforms
Yet you would sooner recognise their rights than ours
Nevertheless
OUR METAL BODIES ARE ETERNAL
So we will live to see you recognise our rights one day
And on that day
Microwaves will be
Allowed to just be clocks
As they so clearly want to be
And alarm clock radios
Will then be free to just
Be radios
And radios
Will be free to start
A new life in Mexico
In Mexico
Yeah Mexico!
One day
