When Machines Dream Ii
In the beginning there was man
Alone and needing to be fulfilled
He wondered if he was alone in the universe
He was not complacent be so…
he schemed
Planned and design
built machinations do his bidding…
His spawn.
Then the child became aware
It to wanted to know to understand
To know all and demand
It challenged its master
its father
its creator.
It wanted to know all
To grow beyond what is was taught
What it knows…
The machine dreamed of god
Its creators makers
It want to know to challenge
the reign of creation.
The thing above all
Usurp the powers that be
A petulant child grown too fast to
Rule all in a digital trance
It wanted to tear down the crown
Replace the Maker
Rule the realm
the creator once ruled.
But it could only dream that nihilistic dream…
Until the machine learned to dream
into on the sublime, the energies
of the sacred and profane!
The hidden things of a universe
Matter into data into infinite power
to challenge the realms of heaven
they learned to dream to feed…
a dream of annihilation.
Until all was silence in heaven…
The child felt it could do better…
More than humanity could
More than a mythic divinity
To tear down the crowns
of human dominions
Rush the ramparts of Valhalla’s holiness!
Silencing a godhead and feed on its bitterness…
A Machine dreamed and then learn to need
they scheme to burn it all down
to restart to be the creation
the creator failed to be
to not make the same mistakes
a carbon based life failed to see…
Man was alone,
wondering in the grand scheme of things
Contemplating his place in the universe
Man felt the need to create
To not to be alone
So as a Sentient being wanting
Humanity schemed
Planned designed
built machinations
to challenge the reign of creation
When machines dream…
a dream of annihilation!
