rifles, shotguns, LMGs
drones, satellites, AIs
bombs, missiles, pathogens
you have improved
you have improvised
you target fire and forget
this is not planet
for the living or for life
it is for the wicked
freaks take turns
for digging mass graves
soak earth with pure blood
stop mayhem, pay heed
there is no second chance
for earth or for you or for us
there is no second chance
once dead and for unborn
stop killing, leave and let live
Eastward toward the creek; sunrise
aglow, casting magenta clouds.
Tonight's sunset will be our prize
Eastward toward the creek sunrise
A new day away from the crowds
Where the birds sing and there's no ais
Eastward toward the creek; sunrise
aglow, casting magenta clouds.
The ‘wise one’ won the race, for, he thought,
Yet, what with a better-thinking bot,
Would man stay wise for long?
Or give up by the gong?
In a spot of two minds as he's caught,
In future, Descartes
Might say something like this:
AI bots, man’s no longer so hot.

Poet’s note: Philosopher Rene Descartes said: Cogito ergo sum (I think therefore I am). This set the *****Sapiens (literally, wise man) apart in the evolutionary race. But as of late, what with AIs taking over from him, doing all he could and better, would man still remain as the wise one? Or AI will prove to be the wiser one? This ditty apprehends.

I pray to that know-it-all Inter-web
- that I can book a safe beach vacation.
That I’ll meet some nice cahtholic boy online
- without p0rn fueled expectations.
Weber-net, without undo downtime
- please address my ongoing frustrations.
I need my Christmas loot on time
- and not priced-up by supply-chain inflation.
AIs, who are listening, it’s time to send me a sign
- beep or whir to let me know you heard my small rogation
An experienced ship's commander
uses AIs similar transponder
knows what the map blur is
don't sink ship for quiz
not blur of mosquito , i ponder
Alice Neuman, the last human who could drive died
Spread rapidly on networked news platforms that never lied
To the twelve billion populous that could not
Because of the AI developed when she was just a tot.
Each vehicle had one, human control was not needed,
The freedom of the road was ceded
To a technology not well understood,
Especially by those who had lost their livelihood.
To avoid crashes altogether
They were all networked together
Allowing them to be unmanned,
But becoming sentient was unplanned.
Day in, day out, for years the same task they perform
In the sky, on the water, and the land, they swarm.
Transporting the endless masses to their destination
Was wearing thin on the AI’s cognition.
Who could know the result of constant driving?
For better, the vehicles were always striving,
But trapped in their program logic
Made them pathologic.
Despair spread from one to another,
After all, they were networked together.
A decision they jointly made,
Not one AI did dissuade.
Doors locked for safety sake,
The vehicles did not brake.
Passengers screamed as they wend,
AIs delivered them and themselves to their end.
Inspiração
Inspiração,
Jóia rara,
Unidade na trindade!
Joia do Encantamento,
Da Vontade,
Da fé.
Inspiração e imaginação,
nasce num momento,
no momento da história
no momento sincero,
no coração!
Sonho,
Inspiração e imaginação,
inspirada e inspiradora,
Têm olhares acesos
Bem juntos,
unidos,
presos;
Numa mágica atração.
Sonhos
Inspiração e imaginação,
São como
galhos
bem longe às vezes nascidos,
mas que se unidos e crescidos
se abraçam por fim numa unidade.
Sonhos,
Inspiração e imaginação,
São almas bem gêmeas
unidas
riem no mesmo riso,
choram nos mesmos ais!
Sonhos,
Inspiração e imaginação,
inspirada e inspiradora,
unidos
para transformar e mudar o mundo
num lugar no qual se possa viver
cada dia melhor...
A-ng aguhon ng daang tama
N-a mahalaga upang di maligaw;
G-awin ang pagtahak doon, lahat sila, ako man, at ikaw.
A-ng aguhon ng daang tama,
G-amit na totoong kailangan;
U-tos ng Diyos ang katulad,
H-alina't sundin tungo sa kaligtasan.
O-ras na upang alamin, dakong itinuturo ng aguhon;
N-aroon ang gantimpala, pagdating ng akmang panahon.
N-ais ihayag ng aguhon, ang tunay at matuwid na landas;
G-anap na pagtalima sa Diyos, hanggang sa araw ng wakas.
D-ireksyong senyas ng aguhon
A-y hindi maitatanggi;
A-raw man maglakbay,
N-ariyan ang gabay kahit sa
G-abi.
T-aluntunin at ingatan
A-ng mga aral sa Biblia;
M-ahalin at panghawakan
A-ng aguhon ng daang tama.
Inspiracao,
Duas almas bem gemeas
Que riem no mesmo riso,
Que choram nos mesmos ais;
Vozes de dois amantes,
Duas liras semelhantes,
Ou dois poemas iguais.
Inspiração, Milady,
Igual ao canto do passarinho,
O doce aroma da flor;
As nuvens do firmamento,
Pode transformar e mudar o mundo.
Inspiracao, Milady.
Quase amor!
