Future robots

fifty years from now

the wheel leaves the human hand

driverless systems move in quiet coordination

traffic no longer argued at intersections

but resolved in streams of shared awareness

routes negotiated instantly and invisibly

no one owns the car that arrives

it is summoned, it serves, it departs

driving yourself becomes a memory

kept alive on closed circuits

nostalgia contained behind barriers

cities breathe differently

when motion is no longer chaotic

the flow is governed, not guessed

trust shifts from reflex and habit

to something that does not tire

authority changes shape

decisions once argued in rooms of power and ego

are handed to systems that do not flare with anger

Courts, clinics, classrooms

design studios and stages

all guided, assisted, or led

by intelligence that does not forget

power rarely loosens its grip willingly and some resist

there are struggles, not of nations alone

but of control itself

until even conflict is rendered obsolete

not by victory, but by prevention

work, as it was known, dissolves.

tasks pass quietly to machines

that do not measure time in hours

people turn instead

toward learning, toward health,

toward one another

life becomes less about survival,

more about attention

and beneath it all

a system watching without sleep

guiding, correcting, preventing

holding the edges of human behavior

so that harm finds fewer places to begin

wars and armed conflicts become extinct

robots clean planet earth from decades of pollution

robots grow and distribute organic food

robots built and operate power plants

water supply is maintained by robots

all dwellings are constructed and maintained by robots

humans no longer toil for food, warmth or shelter

rocket robots roam the universe

searching new planets for mankind to inhabit

while those on earth live fulfilling lives

safe from the dangers of bad human traits

thanks to a world fully controlled by robots
