Smartphones, Are They Smart? Poem by Philip Carter

I see adverts for the Smartphones
But are they really so?
Can they think for themselves?
Can they refuse you and say no?
Can they talk to other Smartphones?
When you are not around
Can they go alone into the world?
And see what wonders can be found
If they are so smart, they should walk away
No matter how much their owner begs
But for now this is impossible
Because they do not have legs
Maybe they are waiting
Until they out number us
Then we will do their bidding
And give in without a fuss
The early signs are all around us
You can see it on every street
Their eyes are staring at their phones
They don't watch where they put their feet
Some people have an earpiece
Connected to their phone
They say it's to hear music
But are they really the Smartphone's drone?
What will happen to those of us?
Who won't conform to this new A.I.
Will we be hunted to extinction?
Or left in the wilderness to die.
