Screaming at Robots

Poetry by The Irrational Sage

Inspired by the comments on my post Rigmarolling Rant

I’m tired of both the algorithm squads and digitally bought bots.

Check-out-lines put you to work, customer service died, E.T. didn’t phone home, and nobody knows what is what.

Credit card machines ask if you want to donate to a charity that was created to siphon through a facade of caring.

Prompts to create your Avatar constantly provoke, no thanks, I’ll stay in my temple that’s worth wearing, keep your digital cloak.

No, you can’t scan my forehead, trust me, if you do, my temperature is going to be way too hot for you cold blooded fools.

Influencers influence by filtering, the scenery of traveling becomes a rented backdrop mirage of a gilded reality that’s mostly a fantasy fleeting, but here’s a link for a coupon so you can be “just like them.”

Digital currecy to upold the current sea of tyranny…nah, I’m good.

Shadowbanned but I’m the shadow’s friend, so I’ll be alright, even though it’s not right to be censored and banned for saying anything against the tyrannical clan.

I wish I could say I was fully immune, but damn, I’m human too, and the digital monsters sometimes take hold, have to pull myself out of the neverending story written on a cyber “scroll.”

Hackers hack, catfish catch, Facebook Fact Checks, Linked in lurks, and nothing is safe from harm, the data harvesters can delete anything, any meme, but leave up all the free debauchery… oh - how - neat!

One way or another, we all need to buckle down so we don’t have to buckle up, get outside in nature, put our bare feet upon the ground…every day try to bring the balance back to being, so we don’t all die by screaming… at robots…who are not living beings!

Remember, robots come in many forms, metaphysical egregores sneak into the lions den of the human mind and chat gpt temptation land…the zombie hands reach out in repetitions glance and propaganda parades pretty promises if you play… click here…sign on the small print…you can’t opt out because the link is broken, there is no number to call, just a chat bot who says his name is Drake and claims to be one of the “Chosen.”
