Is it just a machine? Or does it know something
That all things alive seem to have some knowledge of?
It’s a question some people ask. Others ask why

To explore just a bit more, perhaps they’d find love.

Follow orders efficiently with no chagrin.

That it does bare resemblance to those of us all.

Ways in which we are similar deserve some praise.
If we can’t be more cell-like, are we thinking small?
If they dislike their boss, they can’t just up and quit.
