Artificial Intelligence, I assume, is not
About androids conquering the world
I will get back to this a little later, but
Let’s first clear what became blurred
You’ve grown into a person very receptive
To every single signal Onliners propose
As if internet is holding you captive
And it doesn’t even occur to you to oppose
Writing comments and pressing “send”
Makes you believe you’re the “Mr. Action”
What you don’t get on the other hand
It’s actually nothing but total distraction
It’s like shackles or addictive drugs
Can’t get rid of it, like a bad hoodoo
You need LIKES more than you need HUGS
Besides, you need them right away, too
Swiping and clicking. New forms of caresses
A heart is less needed than a mobile device
It is the real you that a screen replaces
A sad way of saying it clear and concise
Romance is easy now, revenge is cheap
In the realm of emojis and icons
Emotions are at the bottom of the heap
A synthetic world that is, virtually nylon
It’s been, I’m afraid, taking you forever to see
Happiness and log-in names are now good neighbors
Yes, love is in the air, I suppose I don’t disagree
Or in the deep ocean, running through cables
Online friendships are inhumanly careless
Ignorance is a habit now, better get used to it
As long as here and there you can get wireless
That’s the new oxygen or blood, taken for granted
Robot’s skinning you alive is a naive fantasy
You’re eating your own flesh. What a decadence.
It’s getting worse than this volunteer fallacy
Everything’s artificial, why not intelligence
The fantasy however, will turn into a nightmare
If digital life becomes a more routine policy
Labyrinth’s warning you with the utmost care
You’re making the A.I. a self-fulfilling prophecy
