Be You

Foundation. With the considerable rise of AI software on all social media and business platforms, will humanity lose its creative edge? Will you be tempted to do so? Title: Be You (A lone voice whispers) Be You Forgo assimilation And try to avoid being spellbound and tied into the new B System Dream and aspire before you're retired With all your soul's, inner resistance Don't be bound to mundane hearts, no longer open to being plowed, with ravenous curious fingers Hearts enslaved into a dark broken Labyrinth of unspoken, and untold things Which could linger From sad souls who've cried, as their creativity withered and died Absorbed by the cleverly assimilated imagery and well created lies To be one of the many lonely wanderers Tumbling blind through inspirations now barren playgrounds As the new, AI Hive Minds, long reach fires up to reteach Newly breached, unconnected human firewalls While wild valley blackbirds and starling flocks Scream and call out in unison, at the lack of the rising poetry Music or literature, filled with human energy As spiritual temperatures worldwide, fall Putting ingenuity into jeopardy Screeching about the impending icy cold bath of human separation As they fly as huge wailing flocks, into the Summer Equinox With the frosty breath, of AI Death of the Soul Lingering around like black mold With bony fingers Rattling without a sound Awaiting its resurrection As daylight recedes and people seem to lose hope But on that Devil's Island for some of the Condemned The one called Earth The Exalted Ones Maybe like you Unassimilated and still free Can lift up the trapped Those poor souls caught up in The Hive Mind Slowly been drained of personality and self identity Lost in the humankind labyrinth of the unspoken and untold Who needs releasing to help rebuild the new pillars of creativity upon Earth With their eventual rebirth This my friend with the bright eyes unseen Has always been a worthy oath to follow For you've always been free to share your gift of uplifting Energetic, raw, and visual Literature Music or poetry Maybe bestowed From The Sacred Temples of Apollo What's says you? Are you going to strive to stay the real you? (C) Copyright John Duffy
