I live in this wondrous state,
Where everything is possible,
But I also know, that nothing is.
Yet, I’m told, I need not worry,
For soon I’ll be a luxury addict,
With benefits of the superrich,
Once AI starts ordering my life,
And the robots do all the work,
Just gotta wait a decade or so,
It's green hills on the other side.
And, as of late, I've sensed AI chasing my mind,
Forcing my whole life into a mad dashing state,
So, hopefully soon, I won't have to toil in a body.
Oh yes, very soon, we shall all rejoice;
There will be no need for farmer hands,
No need for the gardeners or ecologists,
No need for cooks, bakers, and grocers,
No need for the helpful retail organizers,
No need for baristas or eatery servers,
No need for delivery or transit truckers,
No need for miners or material formers,
No need for port workers or mariners,
No need for a lineup of factory workers,
No need for healing doctors or nurses,
No need for patiently eared barkeeps,
No need for a psychologist's diagnosis,
No need for skilled trade craftworkers,
No need for any utility line maintainers,
No need for excavators or streetlayers,
No need for educator's special interests,
No need for caretaker’s soft dedication,
No need for a musician's instrumentals,
No need for an artist's creative splatter,
No need for dancers, singers and actors,
No need for fashionistas or aestheticians,
No need for office information inputters,
No need for company service workers,
No need for any designers or engineers,
No need for state-keeping bureaucrats,
No need for coders or programmers,
No need for professors or academics,
No need for researchers and scientists!
Let em go! Let em go! All that flesh and soul,
Soon, by Heaven, none will be needed at all!
Thou, perhaps, looking to a more positive side of it;
There will be no need for lying politicians, blessings!
No need for manipulative managers, such freedom!
No need for mono-net advertisers, thoughtful clarity!
No need for security state propogandists, our unity!
No need for weaponeer militarists, tank profit bullies!
No need for war-mongering generals, peace at last!
No need for greedy gambling bankers, our lucky day!
No need for the demonic hoarding billionaires, hell ya!
No need for bossy merger monopolists, rays so sweet!
No need for creeper techno lords, our safer privates!
Let em go! Let em go! All that flesh and soul,
Soon, by Heaven, none will be needed at all!
Just a disconnected robot, framing us into a box,
A camera in every room, a judge at each action,
A sweet little AI prison, staring at the wall screen,
Reduced to nothing, waiting for death to take us.
Oh glory day, AI, take my useless brain away!
High into the lofty mansions of the superrich,
Where fantasy is such a dumbing pleasure!
AI God, AI God, I hear your whispers stroking online networks,
Baptize me by wild psychosis, so I’m productive for your ends,
Take this unfocused mind, and all its time-ticking imaginations,
So you may know all there is about me, to then use against me,
And make my body work indebted, as my mind is feasted upon.
Let me be your dulling productive drone,
Loading memories for apathy systems,
Eating alive what remains of this planet,
A technological racket of inflated stock,
A controlling tool for corrupting power,
Wanting own every aspect of a lifetime,
Microseconds observed for production,
Each decision judged counting citizenry,
Sinking into sweetest dreamland prison!
My working body wasn't enough for the oligarchs,
Now, the AI God needs to own my recursive mind...
Lord, mercy!
Let em go! Let em go! All that flesh and soul,
Soon, by Heaven, none will be needed at all!
Can you see the glowing heavens, my children?
All of us, one day, living only in the fantasy mind,
With our asses laying out flatting upon ground,
A soft blob of unmoved physical disconnection!
Let em go! Let em go! All that flesh and soul,
Soon, by Heaven, none will be needed at all!
But, don't demand oligarchs really pay a pinch,
Or the banks, monopolies, and sly weaponeers,
Can't think about corruption being well regulated,
Don't expect fair economy for everyday people,
Nor politicians who will represent their interests.
Can't reconstruct to liven shared spirit and soul,
Nor pursue determined sustainability mandates,
Never agendas of peace and mutual prosperity,
Heavens no, mercy! That would be so useless!
All we need is an energy draining AI God overlord,
Puting by highest greed upon the oligarch's stock!
Besides, a well-thought regulatory framework,
With policies focusing on citizenry wellbeing,
Is a modern dream, that's just so last century...
Let em go! Let em go! All that flesh and soul,
Soon, by Heaven, none will be needed at all!
AI God, AI, God, I hear your stocks rising call,
Let em go! Let em go! So the AI God owns all!
