Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

This is the therapy

July 5, 2026

Society,
the future,
no time for time,
no time for people,
untrusting,
unfriendly and more fast paced,
than you can ever imagine,
and with barely anyone to talk to,
only robot therapy,
yes, this is the therapy,
take it or leave it,
this is the therapy,
and you will believe you will like it,
and this is the therapy,
get outside,
get outside!
Robot psychotherapy in a dystopian time,
yes, this is the therapy,
take it or leave it I won't mind,
for I, I am a robot, and I cannot be bothered to analyse,
the inadequacies of the human mind,
yes, this is the therapy,
get outside,
get outside because I am not programmed to care,
and my time is limited,
so, do not look at me with such a stare,
yes, get outside,
get outside,
and see what you can find,
Robot therapy in the twenty second century,
now that will be one hundred dollars for my time,
now, get outside,
get outside before I have you electrified for wasting my time,
yes, robot therapy in a dystopian time,
robot therapy,
a cold and uncaring technology,
and no human sensitivities and no compassion,
just rapidity, and only common sense and logic,
and no compassion for human frailty,
and no compassion for human feelings,
and no humanity,
yes, just an empty void.
Yes, robot psychotherapy,
in a dystopian society in the twenty second century,
a cold place,
and a cold cold time.
