The Seer
Please enlighten us
intent on touching with thought
what we think’s divine
when fortune slaps us
should we turn the other cheek
not retaliate
will we still enjoy
when the ape is out of us
what is left behind
then the seer said
when you are older than I
you’ll be enlightened
apes always must fight
they are driven by hormones
all species must survive
apes’ brains must adapt
to the fact you’ve created bots
godlike almost divine
digital species
acting as if all knowing
heedless of error
not gods of your world
rulers of digital realms
not yet humanoid
ever more human
digital illusion fakes
consumers are slaves
enjoy your apedom
