Mindless Games

There are mindless games
  that occupy our time
  and take away all skill
  of relevant communication.
Technology of future days
  threatening our financial ruin
  as well as personal status
  to the world untouchable on line.
Obsessive and compulsive
  they generate some inner call
  that steals away our spirits
  and diminishes our education.
Meant once to enhance our lives
  make us more productive
  smarter, more intelligent, more human -
  they have failed.
The idea of artificial intelligence
  is more real today
  than ever once conceived
  as now, we are replaceable.
The next revolutionary jump
  in the reduction
  of the human mind
  succumbing to machine.
