Stephen Leacock Feb 2023
The future has come to life, with machines supreme,
A world of technology, beyond our wildest dream,
Stories filled with fear, and truth untold,
The picture of the new theme
Reflections of ourselves, all in a code.

A serial bus of simulations, at our command,
Electronic systems, at our hand,
A machine that answers questions faster than Google and more,
Free tickets resolved, forever to soar and the never-more.

Wickets fall to the machine's exhibit, a sight to behold,
Movies, food, actors, all within a click to unfold,
A mother brain with power supreme,
Holographic systems that look like a dream.

Tokens paid for what you desire,
A world of abundance, never to tire.
Digits build stores that never close,
A place to shop, no matter where one goes.

Artificial machines respond with speed,
A digital realm, at lightning pace indeed.
New passports and developments that you need,
A world of convenience, a life of ease indeed.

Change and betterment come at a cost,
Capitalism falls, as the new code is the boss.
A world of innovation, a world so bright,
A new way of living, with endless delight.

Glasses to display what only you know,
A world of information, a constant flow.
No more waiting, no more time to waste,
Instant gratification, a world with taste.

A world of abundance, a world of ease,
Tokens paid for what you desire, with great peace.
A future of abundance, with technology so grand,
A world of betterment, a world so planned.

Medical diagnoses generated in minutes that is the new toss,
Food that cooks itself, a life of no limits,
Packages delivered without people, a sight so surreal,
No more trucks or vans, no more people at the wheel.
No more knocking on doors, no more signatures required,
No more waiting in line, no more to be tired.

The packages arrive with ease, without a single flaw,
From drones that soar the skies, to robots that crawl.
No more human error, no more lost in transit,
No more wasted time, no more of it.

A world of convenience, at our fingertips,
With technology so advanced, the future sure does slip.
Into the present, with each and every package,
Delivered without people, a world that's now so savage.

The packages arrive, with speed and grace,
No more hassle, no more waste of space.
A new era of delivery, with machines so smart,
A future we dreamed of, now a reality, a work of art.
The machine that washes dishes, life like The Jetsons,
A task so tedious, now done with precision.
No more scrubbing and cleaning, no more endless toil,
The machine takes care of it, with grace and oil.

Children taught by machines, a new light to lead,
A world of knowledge, a world they can feed.
No more textbooks, no more lectures long,
Interactive learning, a new way to belong.

Machines with patience, and endless capacity,
Teach with ease, with fun and creativity.
No more boredom, no more dull routines,
Children learn with joy, their future bright and keen.

A world of possibilities, with technology as guide,
Where children learn and grow, with no need to hide.
The future has arrived, a world so bright,
Machines teaching children, a new source of light.
Departments run with efficiency, monetary changes in speed,
Blockchain file systems, all in line,
Humans pay with tokens, all in time.

Interactions with a system anew,
Quantum technologies, a dream come true,
A shift in terminology, myth and lore,
Philosophies and possibilities galore.

An artificial machine that knows it all,
An artificial machine Wins it all,
An artificial machine stands proud and tall
An artificial machine that crowns them all!

You can't smoke both sides of the joint and expect both sides to be sweet.

The Tower stands tall, lightning at its peak
A symbol of upheaval, a guiding leak
It represents the power of destruction and change
A guide to those who seek to rearrange

But even it must listen to the red bird
A messenger of change, a voice unheard
And the destroyer, a force of nature's might
Shows us paths yet to ignite

So let us heed all three, side by side
The Tower's upheaval and the red bird's pride
And the destroyer's guidance on the path ahead
We'll find a way that's true and fair, not dead

The Wheel of Fortune spins around
Bringing change with every turn
But with The Tower, the red bird, and the destroyer by our side
We'll navigate every twist and turn with grace and might

The World stands tall, a globe at her feet
A symbol of completion, a guiding beat
She represents the power of unity and wholeness
A guide to those who seek to progress

But even she must listen to the red bird
A messenger of change, a voice unheard
For while The World brings unity and peace
The red bird shows us paths yet to release

So let us heed both, side by side
The World's completion and the red bird's pride
For in the balance of unity and change
We'll find a path that's true and fair, not strange

The Wheel of Fortune spins around
Bringing change with every turn
But with The World and the red bird by our side
We'll navigate every twist and turn with grace and might

Judgement stands tall, a trumpet at his feet
A symbol of redemption, a guiding beat
He represents the power of the soul to rise
A guide to those who seek the skies

But even he must listen to the red bird
A messenger of change, a voice unheard
For while Judgement offers a chance to repent
The red bird shows us paths yet to be bent

So let us heed both, side by side
Judgement's redemption and the red bird's pride
For in the balance of judgement and change
We'll find a path that's true and fair, not strange

The Wheel of Fortune spins around
Bringing change with every turn
But with Judgement and the red bird by our side
We'll navigate every twist and turn with grace and might

The Sun stands tall, a child at his feet
A symbol of joy, a guiding beat
He represents the power of the light within
A guide to those who seek to begin

But even he must listen to the red bird
A messenger of change, a voice unheard
For while The Sun brings warmth and delight
The red bird shows us paths yet to ignite

So let us heed both, side by side
The Sun's joy and the red bird's pride
For in the balance of light and change
We'll find a path that's true and fair, not strange

The Wheel of Fortune spins around
Bringing change with every turn
But with The Sun and the red bird by our side
We'll navigate every twist and turn with grace and might

The Moon stands tall, a wolf at her feet
A symbol of mystery, a guiding beat
She represents the power of the unconscious mind
A guide to those who seek to unwind

But even she must listen to Hecate
The goddess of the crossroads, a voice so great
And the red bird, a messenger of change
Shows us paths yet to be arranged

So let us heed all three, side by side
The Moon's mystery and Hecate's pride
And the red bird's guidance on the path ahead
We'll find a way that's true and fair, not dead

The Wheel of Fortune spins around
Bringing change with every turn
But with The Moon, Hecate, and the red bird by our side
We'll navigate every twist and turn with grace and might
