Majestic it stood,
It's beauty . . . its power . . .
Such stature and grace . . .
The Zigguraut Tower.
We built the Zigguraut for a number of reasons, the main being the robots. The humans don't give a damn about them anymore, so it would be best to have them destroyed. I'm sure the council would agree with me.
They've taken the humans' jobs and forced them out of work, meaning no money for food or the necessities. These few things are important. Though it's easier on the human race to be out of work, we need these jobs for the money, and since robots don't use the money, or need it, for that matter, it would only be fair to us all . . . to my people . . . if they were forced out of Metropolis and destroyed.
Created they were,
and by us no less.
But to let them do this
only causes one to stress.
I understand that the humans created the robots, but it was only out of curiosity, for back when robots were in their beginning stages, technology was young and no one knew the full extent of what could happen. Scientists went a step further and achieved their goal: a slave to humanity. Nothing but an oversized pile of bolts and scrap metal.
Robots were built, to begin with, to serve us, to do our jobs so that we wouldn't have to. They have surpassed us and now we won't know what to do. A little of that experimenting went a very long way, and now . . . now, they're ruining our lives.
"The time is come,"
Duke Red said.
"to talk of other things.
Of Boone, and Rock, and Marduks.
Of Metropolis and me."
But now we have achieved a new power, a higher power, one that can overrule the robots, throw them out, rid of them forever. Metropolis will be a clean city again. Nothing to fear, no stray bullets, no more gun fire, no more disturbing and offensive things running chaos and wreaking havoc in my city. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you . . . the Zigguraut!
Author's Notes: Heh heh heh. Sorry 'bout the little Alice in Wonderland thing up there. I really couldn't help myself. ^_^ Sort of . . . ANYway . . . r/r!
