Electronic chirps

Electronic chirps in monotoned resilience,
Subliminal hum of the twinkling light;
Or paradigm's implied consilliance,
Crickets of a technological blight.

Crisscrossed lasers guarding the world;
Encoded strata of binary tongues,
Translating algorithms into Perl-
Are we to them, just so much dung?

Bionic domes to house our kind,
When the world gives up its ghost;
Will we be slave, when they are master
And what of us; once known as host?

Nice... We'll be the legendary creators that breathed the spark of life into the present life forms before our inherent design flaws caused our extinction. We'll be gods... or dinosaurs .

What of us, indeed! For some reason Hal from '2001- a Space Odyssey' comes to mind as I read this fascinating poem with it's rhythmical assurance and its scientific strength. Great write. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
