A cobbled mesh of steel and wire –
infusion of circuits and electrodes
forged behind the labs of iron slabs as goggled eyed geeks
unbundle the wonders of technology!
Unmasking machine power
to dismantle the world of work
with ageless might and seamless beam,
haunting the lurking shadows of manual minds
beyond the soulless gaze of a heartless puppet
lies the artistry of music to the soul:
the mystique of love to the heart;
the beauty of our humanity
is priceless to a love-hungry world.
Automated machines, Silicon engineered robots,
the alchemy of cyborgs on the rise…
On a speedy rise to infamy…
Our humanity must not be lost on us
as we steadily reclaim our boundaries
the very one that unites us:
as inventors of this steely domain
we have the secret code to control these rising legions
on the verge of delusion!
This unfettered puzzle is a product of our curious minds,
It is time to restore our cryptogrammic humanity.
