Time is going to come
When we will cruise smoothly, In self-driving cars, watching Our favourite TV shows Projected straight into our eyes At the command of our voices; When everything will be under the close watch Of unblinking eyes, Unmanned robots and drones; When our doctors, lawyers, Accountants and bankers, Will be replaced By labour-saving algorithms Running on smart machines; When we will enjoy reading Poetry, and novels, Written by AI machines; When our likes, and dislikes, Strengths, and imperfections, Emotions and little secrets, Will all be digitalised by big corporates; When we all will be nudged, By smart machines, to choose Specific cars, houses, Jobs, and partners; When the keys to the house Of our souls Will be operated by digital corporations; When we will be mere digital slaves, With an illusionary free will, in the hands Of giant digital firms. ©https://www.poeticnoesis.com/ Time is going to come
Time is going to come When we won't be able to call A fig tree a fig tree; An orange tree an orange tree; Or an olive tree an olive tree; Because a willow tree Will take an offense, cry Discrimination, And demand We call everyone A tree. ©️ https://www.poeticnoesis.com/ |
