When Machines Rule the Roost

There must be something I haven't written about In over eighteen hundred poems Searching and searching my large massive brain But for now creativity has flown Can't think of anything that's worthy of my time I've started to run out of gas Could write about anything just to fill in for now But can't imagine writing just trash Will bide my time, maybe suck on my thumb That's how I usually get inspiration In the future, the human mind will be extinct That's the last of our imagination A real sad day in the annuls of all mankind Leave me out don't want to partake In a society where machines are ruling the roost And the freedom of mankind is at stake Well thankfully I don't have too many years left I know it would be hard to survive In a world without warm and close human contact This guy doesn't want to be alive © Jack Ellison 2015

I wonder, if one would run out of words. You're doing a great job in keeping them coming. 7

Don't worry... With Dragon and us here... There will always be love and hugs aplenty! Oh... And a few crispy toes... As our fantasy inspires a new bunch of funnies.
