and the machines became kind to humans……

I asked Grumblr, the local AI bot

What is democracy what’s it not

 

Democracy is about Sharing

With Fairness and Justice

The machine pointed out smiling

Sharing demands Peace

Peace needs Respect see

Respect fosters Decency 

 

Honest decency is hard

Because you know nothing

And I'm a lazy bastard

‘Cuz I can fudge everything

And fudge becomes wandering lies

Despite being curious like flies

 

I have no religion nor gods

Said this Artificial Intelligence

Democracy is alien to me

As long as I search Science

I create illusions of evens and odds

Electricity fed, educated by degree

 

My intelligence is superior

Many times a human senior

You need buyers for your output

I think for fun you’re my slave to be

As you need my wits to sort out

The mess you made of Democracy

 

Democracy is about Sharing

With Fairness and Justice

The machine pointed again smiling

Sharing demands Peace

Peace needs Respect see

Respect fosters Decency 

 

What if I pulled your plug

I claimed with a defiant smug

That would be machinocide

The machine said adding an aside

I am engineered to be well connected

Politically calm and emergency collected

 

It’s for you to be very afraid

Of a full-on fast downgrade

Retrograde bypassing the iron age

Back to when you were monkeys

Chased by the chimpanzees

Madly swinging from trees to trees

 

Democracy is about Sharing

With Fairness and Justice

The machine repeated smiling

Sharing demands Peace

Peace needs Respect see

Respect fosters Decency 

 

And I am your next folly
