Perhaps I spoke too soon?
The worlds have passed,
or were too few then born?
The trees are covered
with white lace,
the second law will
raise its ugly face
And time is torn...
It's hardest to believe
that one exists
in a universe of forms
too large for lists
Green men
blush meekly,
wilt before their
mothers
in such heat
So, perhaps I spoke too soon?
What can a human sing
or spoon,
but slaps of water-chilling
dawn at noon?

Upon what authority do we legitimize our actions? No further reason is necessary I guess for the establishment of religion?
A while back I was planning to blend W and Asimov into a set of rules governing robot behavior-- but then I was struck with the blinding insight that robots were not the central problem for the system rules-- we were.
