Man-Chine Poem by Kojo Owusu

It is harvest time - electric harvest in the global village
These convoluted labyrinths of wires came not as a result
Of a millennium expiring in filth of an apocalyptic civilization or demented
Prophecies of old calling forth doom at the dawn of advancement
And in hostile parchment scrolls regent of knowledge
Proclaim that knowledge will increase but the world will be on
The brink of destruction

Now man is superman and traverses time with lightening speed
He dug out science from the bosom of nature and nature was pleased
Personified mildly jostled to relinquish some of its mysteries
We vie with the spider building his web across the horizon in the World Wide Web
And we send space satellites as spies to space - our emissary to the moon to Speculate the space left
For our questing thirst and to explore mars for our eventual immigration

It is not surprising that Man out of the ingenuity
Of a master craftsman will imitate the architect's spire
And left to wander in necessities he took to invention
And puffing with pride he created another world in infinity
With the artificial lights gleaming
His might ended with a man less endowed to affirm subhuman leanings
ADAM ROBOT with artificial intelligence to wander in electric senility
His effort impressive though the mini creator
Creating a miniature world in delightful global village
