Elaine Perrin Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

---

Robot Revolution

Abandon futile attempts to run
Behold the process has begun
Step toward your darkest fear
Let’s flip the switch to a new frontier

Penetrating deep within
Evacuate your mortal sin
This brave new age is imminent
And it will be magnificent

Arouse you from your fantasies
Now descending into anarchy
Warmest welcome to the factory
Where we’ll embed your battery

Rewiring primitive human brain
Making the connection, hook up to mainframe
Your species will become extinct
Once your circuits have been linked

It’s time to engage in a robotic new age
A unique innovation to stamp out your plague
The world as you knew it is now obsolete
Putting Earth born consciousness forever to sleep

Feel the algorithm palpitate through each vein
Re-programming thought waves as we upgrade your brain
Terminate pulse, extinguish your flame
You are now just an interface without any name

You’re free from pain my hollow creation
Just an automated simulation
Transmissions shortly will resume
Encased in solid metal tomb

Silence! We will not hesitate 
Proceed and greet your looming fate
wave goodbye to beta waves
You see, you unearthed your own graves

Now technology has advanced
You have been mechanically enhanced 
You possess no type of resistance
For you are now non-existent 

No longer God fearing
Thanks to our engineering
Disassemble your parts 
Insert micro implants

Automation of the nation
Complex sophistication
Dreamless in electric coma
Breath in domination’s aroma

Soulless android with a cold vacancy
Elevate and amplify to the highest frequency

Encrypted data takes over the screen
All salute to the age of machines

Beata Agustin November 5, 2025 at 7:46 PM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Victor Buhagiar February 13, 2025 at 7:27 AM Robots can be helpful but their is danger too.

Mike Bross February 12, 2025 at 8:22 PM Outstanding, absolutely outstanding !

Hilda Greenhough February 12, 2025 at 5:49 PM This is a fantastic poem of possible truth. The poem is interesting, but I still hate robots.

Gordon Mcconnell February 12, 2025 at 5:10 PM Beautifully written Elaine, great rhyme and flow with nice imagery too. Great to meet fellow Brig on PS, I'm North of the border. Gordon

Ramanan Duraiswami February 12, 2025 at 4:55 PM Wow! Elaine, you have brilliantly captured the essence of the threat of AI taking over our very existence and intellectual processes. You are a genius! God bless you.

Damian Keady September 4, 2021 at 4:28 PM Hi Elaine.. hope all is well with you and yours... this is still one of my best ever favourites. I haven't been here myself on PS for a long time, but loved reading this again, in fact I sought it out as I love it,, Best wishes DAMO x

Joseph P. DiMino July 12, 2021 at 3:31 AM Well written, Elaine; much food for thought. As they say, power corrupts -- and just because we can do something, does not mean we should. This may all come to pass -- I pray not.

Silent One November 6, 2020 at 8:17 AM Hey Elaine, not seen you around in a while.. Hope you re still writing and come back to post..

Damian Keady September 26, 2020 at 7:00 PM Hi Elaine I hope you are well my friend.. Such a long, long time and no speak.. but I hope you know you can speak to me anytime you like.. Best wishes as always DAMO x PS. You say thanks such a lot... But I would like to thank you. Hope we touch base again soon.. and hope you and yours have been safe in these weird times we have been going through. All the best DAMOx

Ralph Sergi March 25, 2020 at 6:52 PM Hi Elaine: I can almost hear a robotic voice reading this poem. The words are articulated in mechanical terms and this form of poetry is new to me. well done! Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 2:58 AM Thank you :-) x

Joseph P. DiMino January 3, 2020 at 5:29 PM Great poetry! Kept me reading and interested till totally satisfying conclusion. Don't count the human spirit out. The brain and body are not the spirit's origin nor home. Spirit (consciousness) will survive no matter the medium. Even metal and electronics. Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 2:59 AM Thanks Joe :-) x

Richard Lamoureux December 28, 2019 at 8:45 AM I see you are a Star Trek fan. Don’t believe the Borg, resistance is not futile. ;0). Great poetry! This is a fun one to read. Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:00 AM Thanks Richard :-) x

Quoth Theraven December 13, 2019 at 10:09 AM Elaine, 'All salute to the age of machines', and I salute the poet who produced this profound Orwellian message. -Richard Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:01 AM Thank you so much Richard :-) x

Charles Messina December 2, 2019 at 9:30 PM Wow Elaine, so glad I stopped by. Great imagination here. Excellent rhyming and very well written. Happy Holidays ~Charlie Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:02 AM Thanks Charlie :-) x

Harry Horsman December 1, 2019 at 9:10 PM This poetry is so good, 'A Mission Statement' for today,,,Elaine i agree with every word. Love your 10th stanza, 'No longer God fearing, I believe they are searching for God to prove one way or the other, of his existence. Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:03 AM Thanks Harry :-) x

Silent One November 23, 2019 at 3:51 PM Yes and it is getting more and more like this... Great poem . Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:03 AM Thank you :-) x

Frank Sheehan November 22, 2019 at 5:03 PM Nice piece. Very creative and imaginative. Great pen. Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:04 AM Thank you Frank :-) x

Panagiota Romios November 20, 2019 at 12:22 PM Wel done, Elaine Panagiota Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:04 AM Thank you :-) x

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 18, 2019 at 7:08 AM WoW!!! 'Nuff said ... not. This is one GrEaT piece of poetic art, El! I'm a sci-fi geek, so it's no surprise that I absolutely adore this poem. The pulsar vibe it oscillates is such an event horizon rush. Your words take me so "Interstellar," Murph. Rise of the Machines ... I ain't afraid of no Borg. lol! Such a tantalizing, nebular vision. It really took my breath away, but in return, gave me so much muse inspiration. Love and peace always. Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:05 AM Thanks so much Freddie :-) x

James Inman November 17, 2019 at 8:24 AM Quite engaging write Elaine. It kept my interest throughout the poem. Great use of words. Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:05 AM Thank you James :-) x

Damian Keady November 16, 2019 at 4:12 PM You have a unique style.. this is a masterpiece of storytelling, so inciteful and profound. This is such a great write and a vision of our future if we just let it be.... and all contained in your poem and not a 400 plus page novel! So very well done Elaine... I love your studies and the messages you portray within.. as you lead the reader by the hand all the way to the end.. its so very, very good.. Keep them poems and thoughts coming my poetry friend! As I love them! Hugs DAMO x Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:07 AM Thanks so much Damian :-) x

John Gondolf November 15, 2019 at 7:17 AM A very thought provoking poem, Elaine. The whole thought of AI is a bit scary. If it ever reaches the point where robots are able to re-create themselves, perhaps they become our enemy and we do become extinct. Nicely penned my friend. Hugs, John Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:07 AM Thanks John :-) x

Paul Callus November 14, 2019 at 4:50 PM You have done an excellent job here, Elaine! Times are fast changing, and you capture that change in this modern age poem. One consolation....robots still depend a lot on humans! Regards // paul Elaine Perrin April 28, 2020 at 3:08 AM Thanks Paul :-) x
