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

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.

This poetry is magnificent... glory be..peace...! :)

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, 'All salute to the age of machines', and I salute the poet who produced this profound Orwellian message. -Richard

Wow Elaine, so glad I stopped by. Great imagination here. Excellent rhyming and very well written. Happy Holidays ~Charlie

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.

Yes and it is getting more and more like this... Great poem .

Nice piece. Very creative and imaginative. Great pen.
Date: 11/20/2019 12:22:00 PM

Wel done, Elaine Panagiota

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.

Quite engaging write Elaine. It kept my interest throughout the poem. Great use of words.
Date: 11/16/2019 4:12:00 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

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

machines always make me a bit nervous, they can do many things but soulful communication, I leave it to humans. Well described dear poet.

Fine write Elaine with great imagery and insightful choice of words too. Good to read from you again, hope all is good with you. - Gordon

Elaine, you did very well with this write! Right up their with The Stepford Wives in its horro.
Date: 11/14/2019 7:09:00 AM

Scary thoughts I think :) Great poem, but spooky to me. I GOTTA have the Lord Jesus and will never even be chipped... I'd rather die. Love to you and blessings, Gina

Chilling commentary on the age of robotics, skillfully done-
Date: 11/13/2019 3:40:00 PM

wow, what an amazing write. Lots of thinking put into this one! Also,why could not a new age have us be robots with kind natures? I just watched that new movie with Arnold Scwhartzenegger (?) as a terminator that turned into a good one!!
Date: 11/13/2019 3:31:00 PM

Excellent, and unerringly accurate, I strongly feel... I keep telling my kids that they'll live to see toddlers wired shortly after birth, but they don't believe me. Ha, ha! Joke's on them, say. Bravo, Elaine!! ~ Gershon

Wow Elaine amazing write!;)
Date: 11/13/2019 9:00:00 AM

I asked Alexa and she said this was a fantastic poem and you know she is never wrong. :) I really enjoyed this Elaine, you did a fantastic job with this. You remained on theme throughout and rhymed it perfectly. Nicely done.

We've become so technologically advanced. It scares me what the future holds. Interesting write.
