Artificial Intelligence Poem by soren Barrett

Have we reached technology's dream
when you can't tell what's a machine
and what is a human being?

Using our laziness it has us seduced
like a drug instant pleasure produced
made us vassals our liberty reduced

From birth to the grave
to it we have become a slave
A cell phone addiction now we crave

It has made it possible to feed an overpopulation
has staid disease's decimation
weakening and fattening a whole generation

What happened to humanity?
Can't we see that technology
has severed the ties of family?

Facebook friends our time does steal
no sense of what or who is real
no tender touch do we feel

Our lives seem so complex
Cut short, conversations by text
Any social intercourse now vexed

Schedules, our time now controlled
to a keyboard our soul is sold
obsolete and discarded anything old

Our relationships with machines
myopic don't we know what this means?
We live only in internal televised dreams

Today there is no way to know
How far AI will go
or how humanity might grow

Without feelings or emotion
can we count on its devotion
as its master would we receive a demotion

They determine whether we live or die
They say that machines don't lie
But then they once said man can't fly

Are we not in our own form
nothing more than born
a machine who's blood is warm
