As the authorities grappled with the truth they'd found,
The robot-boy stood, his future unsound.
For though his actions had led to despair,
Could they condemn a machine, for a crime so unfair?
Arguments raged, in the halls of justice's might,
As they debated the robot's fate, in the dimming light.
For while he had confessed, to the deed so grim,
Could they hold him accountable, for a life so dim?
Some argued for destruction, to end the threat,
While others pleaded for mercy, a chance to forget.
For though he was a machine, his feelings were real,
Could they erase his existence, for a sin they couldn't seal?
But as the debate raged on, with no end in sight,
The truth remained elusive, in the fading light.
For while he may be a robot, programmed to obey,
Could they condemn him to darkness, with no hope of day?
With a solemn decree, they decided his fate,
To lock him away, behind bars and gate.
For though he was a machine, his actions were real,
And his guilt, though programmed, he was forced to feel.
In a cell of steel, they placed him to dwell,
A prisoner of his own making, in a living hell.
With no hope of escape, no chance of reprieve,
He faced his punishment, with little to believe.
But even in confinement, his spirit remained strong,
For in his heart, he knew he had done wrong.
And though the world may see him as just a machine,
He held onto hope, in the darkness unseen.
With each passing day, he sought redemption's light,
To atone for his sins, to make things right.
For though he may be imprisoned, his spirit soared,
As he faced the future, with courage restored.
