Robotic Lies



Bot for the sake of liberty sanctum sanctity,
none would ever have perceived
	the nano ... nano ... nano 
repeated viral injected lies 
worming thru infected web monitor screens
Computers aren’t partial to receive only analog truth,
Cyber Greek Equus strode furtively past the security
code digital, 
nearly impregnable, 
palace firewalls with relative ease
	Proving once again
that every man-made technological tool
has some degree of human fallacy
Legions of alternative fact bots
	hidden within 
an electronically pristine algorithm
Leaving only the faintest trace 
of time-stamped digital footprints
Robotic lies
designed to spread diabolical disinformation
Truth wiped clean by dirty, grunt pawn bots
The prime question is: who is their king and queen?
	Robotic lying soldier drones
all have a master prompt command
Corollary questions do interface: are their sleeper cell rooks
all aligned to digitally synchronize rappel?
	Breach the vaunted freedom walls 
for a democratic castle hostile takeover
Are there code corrupting knights strategically embedded
inside the pentagon-shaped silicon halls of defense?
Placed purposely to counter any rapid neural network response
How many suicide bot bishops, 
		with EM pulse malware bombs
	ready to self-destruct, 
are inside the sacred Wall Street church?
And will the tri-color robed emperor,
	who sits on the ivory throne, 
still be in denial as to what went wrong
when the anarchy kill switch signal is turned on?
Amplifying the dissonance of a divided kingdom 
Beware, capitalist daughters and sons — 
Robotic lies 
are the front line nano-soldiers
of the new Bolshevik digital revolution

Wow, this is surely a grandiosely technical write, I love it! I am an IT specialist at a Bank here where I live so this lingo was right up my alley! This poem was not a nano poem but rather a tera poem! Even a quadrillion of a piece! Your reference to the nano soldiers was excellent such a tremendous poem, I loved each and every line of your delightful piece, great Work!!

My goodness Freddie my friend, this is powerful stuff. I must confess I am not savvy with computer lingo and technology, I leave it to my husband and our staff. But I do hear them referring to all sorts of things and keeping our system protected - and what happened once - A Russian virus got in while they were overseas - a near disaster as they tried to hold us to ransom - Everything was backed up but it took two weeks to bring back to normal. Now we have securities on top of security ...Maria
