Sonnet For The Digital Age

That we who have become so enlightened

To place a mind into machines would first

Use this power (of which we should be frightened)

To animate naked people is cursed.

We’ve woven tales: losing jobs to robots

And our humanity to gigabytes,

Thinking humans will become the have-nots

And electricity will off our lights.

But in creating technical wonder

We have revealed a deeper part of us:

Our minds divert from the wealthy’s plunder

To the size of robo-ladies cy-busts.

Artificial intelligence kills not:

Instead, it lets us chase electric thot.
