Craft mates science,
An offspring is born
Through the keys and transmitter
While legs cramped
We navigate the world.
Body in a square box,
Mind roaming the global society
Somewhere in our world
It robots our emotions
We think we own it, but it’s the other way around.
Like a virus
It’s spread through work places, homes, schools…
Demanding our attention
Like a hungry infant makes a cry-call out to mama,
Machine that could’ve swallowed a room
Has been squeezed in a man’s palm
Zooming the image of the world
To the extent of artificial intelligence.
We are able to face the future with ease
Just like a school kid knows ABC
But like the middle tree in Eden
It’s full of knowledge, good, and evil.
