Bad Robot

I blame bad programming,
the programmers themselves
badly programmed
by bad programmers;

I blame bad programming,
the operating system unchosen
and low-level language used
by those inherited classes – fools;

I blame bad programmers,
the parental trap of tinkering,
the unspoken words, the hereditary
misgivings and an environment
unfit for purpose.
