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

This is a fantastic poem of possible truth. The poem is interesting, but I still hate robots.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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
