In 100 Years From Now Brian Davy

100 Year's from now Stardate 1984 no 1 could have foreseen What the future held When the computer's and technology we built Began to out think the programmer's And we were all addicted totally under it's influence Resistance was futile we were defenseless Without access to the mainframes From whence our connectivity came And we only had ourselves to blame Sent back to the dark age's 2 many a year had passed since We used hard copy All knowledge was tied up in a computer interface And was permanently erased If the human race was to survive We needed redemption We had to place our trust in the very same people Who simultaneously created our downfall Rebuild , rethink Learn from our mistakes And start afresh Open and inclusive For the benefit of everyone Because the epicenter of the storm Was created by fazing out the usefulness of humans To be replaced by robot's and computer's Idleness and a sense of worth Gave birth to a dearth of displacement And slothfulness and waste That did not dissipate Passiveness became the order of the day A breeding ground of woe Something the computer's never knew And that is how the revolt started In part 100 year's from now The fight back begins And only the history books will tell 100 year's from then If we succeeded Or were struck from the record Back to hunter gatherers Or we we went beyond the moon 7th June 2018 For the Poetry Contest Of Brian Wavy 100 years from now
