I sincerely
Hope
Artificial Intelligence
Is
Smart enough
To
Save us
From
Ourselves

Word of the Day – Intelligence

Never been On Easy Street Eke existence Week to Week

Leaning Up against this Wall Wishing to again Stand Tall

Spirit broken Resolve Weak Nourished solely By Defeat

Bedraggled, dirty Down on Luck Needs eclipse a Few spare Bucks

Eyes diverted From my Gaze Locked up In this purple Haze

Rejected disciple of The Whole Relegated To Black Hole

The secrets lie there Within Reach Perhaps today I’ll Find my Feet

Thanks go out to buddy71 who graciously agreed to allow me to write a piece in response to this image he shot in San Francisco. Please view his original post HERE.

Innocents in wonder gaze Polar bear in glass enslaved Ponders was he really saved

Sun looked on With Unsympathetic Eyes

Mankind Stood idly In anguished Cries

Earth A fiery Cauldron Boiled

Too few for Peace Had seriously Toiled

The thief It Stalks us Day by Day Primetime Detritus At our feet It Lays

The thief It Stalks us Day by Day Tales of Destruction Death and Decay

The thief It Stalks us Day by Day Heart wrenching Violence And Dishonesty Dismay

The thief It Stalks us Day by Day Our Peace Of mind Chiseled Away

I sincerely Hope Artificial Intelligence Is Smart enough To Save us From Ourselves
