What lies ahead

A mantis with a pair of specs may point
A new approach to find the way to show
Our androids three dimensions when they look,
On our behalf, to undertake the tasks
That we, in hubris, for ourselves reject.

But how shall we respond once androids learn
To put anthropogenic skills to use
In order to supplant the human race -
Other, that is, than castigate ourselves
For failing to oppose this fateful trend
Which now seems set to threaten all our lives
And place us underneath the robot heel?
