I wasn't sure if I was supposed to write sword since 'dagger' is supposedly a noun and there aren't any opposites for nouns. Somehow there was a solution for 'dagger' when I looked it up on google. Turns out there's more than one answer.
A given mission, mechanical assault, manufactured devotion.
Red eyes, an upside-down form. Even the twisted shape was made to be that way.
No matter how cruel the slaughter, worse than a demon's,
or how gentle the kindness, greater than an angel's,
a machine has neither will nor madness—only code, and a few bugs.
So why, then, does it feel so unbearably sad?
