Destruction

Luis Royo

I was created to aid those who said they wanted to
help humanity, but they lied and wanted to dominate
it with absolute power.

I was a machine programmed to do as I was told,
no emotions to think about my actions.
My maker learned they had been wrong and
tried to fix it, some was too extensive, most died trying,
but some did succeed.

I was out patrolling when a major power grid
had been destroyed, I seemed to be the only one
still functioning, everyone else lay in a pile
of metal and wires.

I noticed as I walked amongst the debris of this building
pictures littered the ground and then I found her,
she looked like a broken rag doll.

I picked her up gently as any man would and
sheltered her, my maker knew I would protector
her with my life, because she was his daughter.

I was a machine, a man and now her future.
