Cyber-Real

written for the new era group

in these days
of recycle heat
and copy-paste
retrive -delete

 

mistaken for
some-one
zero

 

I
am not binary

 

O and

not even odd

 

the code
is organic

my digits figure feel

 

some-say

I 'm mortally real

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

In this electronic age life has changed to the point of unbelievability sometimes. Some days it is a wonderful thing and others.........we wonder. Brilliant poem.

[Circe]

we certainly have a lot of machinery working for us, this is really cool reflection on the organic vs the technological, we may soon be half mortals.

[Pax]

wonderful, i like the use of computer terms. its so refreshing to read.

[Black Hole Halo]

Very cool, I liked it a lot.

[FJ Davis]

Reminder of a retreating reality that will, at some point, be coldly confronted by the unblinking eye of artificial intelligence--a deadly confrontation, in which our mortality will be a decided disadvantage and, thus, mercilessly exploited.
As long as there's still some way to "pull the plug," we retain the upper hand.
Unique, thoughtful and thought-provoking work, WM!

[Arte]

Very nice poem!
