A thousand books maybe they read,
Assembled where
selfsame human bots;
Who longed to disrupt
the society,
Alas, monotonous were in verbatim thoughts.
Books can nurture
knowledge,
But evolutionary
traits, ever, not!
CVs inflated, Dreams deflated,
Excelled merely from
economy to first class;
Or from sheathed jockey
to being jockey,
For this reward, their
precious lives fought.
Intruding with moves
-> right, left, center,
On wood or iron, that wrought! :)
