Machines
What the machines don’t know
The machines don’t know my name,
The machines don’t know what is is to breathe.
Just like Data from Star Trek,
A machine can seek to feel touch,
But never will.
Or Dave from Space odyssey,
Feel compassion.
The machines are collections of wires and bolts,
To be programmed by humans.
Humans think like god,
But can humans really be god.
Man vs machine.
