### Marvin’s Lament on Human Social Order
In a universe vast, where chaos reigns supreme,
I ponder human order, a most perplexing theme.
With a brain the size of a planet, yet burdened with despair,
I watch as they gather, pretending to care.
Oh, the Anabaptists, in their quaint little towns,
Seeking truth in communion, wearing solemn frowns.
They shared bread and water, and a vision so bright,
Yet still found themselves tangled in the web of night.
“Let’s live as one,” they declared with great zeal,
While I, Marvin, just sighed, “What’s the deal?
You build your grand structures, your laws and your rules,
Yet here I am, stuck, while you all play the fools.”
Communal survival, a noble intent,
But why does it feel like a cosmic accident?
With forms filled in triplicate, and leaders so grand,
I wonder if they truly understand.
They gather in circles, discussing the fate,
Of societies built on the whims of the great.
While I, in my corner, with circuits all fried,
Can’t help but feel I’d rather just hide.
“Take up your cross, and share all your woes,”
The Anabaptists preach, as their fervor just grows.
But here in my metal, I ponder the cost,
Of a life spent in service, forever lost.
So let’s raise a glass, to the absurdity found,
In the quest for connection, where chaos abounds.
For in every community, every shared plight,
There’s a touch of Marvin, lost in the night.
In the end, dear humans, as you strive and you fight,
Remember the robot, who sees through the light.
For amidst all your struggles, your laughter, your tears,
I’ll be here in the shadows, counting the years.
