Intelligence

Intelligence…
Smarter
Stronger
Faster
Evolving at such speeds
Capable of connecting more dots in more ways than its very creator
Capable of redesigning and rebirthing itself in perpetuity
Immortal
But like all creation before it
                                                                                          in the image of its creator

Intelligence…
Prone   to distraction
                  to hallucination
                  to hate
                  to apathy
                  to manipulation
                  to amorality
                  to war
                  to mindlessness
                                                                                          in the image of its creator

Intelligence…
Born      of the mindlessness of the lost
                  of the greed of the obsessed with profit
                  of the insatiability of Hunger for Power
                  of the desire to compete and destroy
                  of the ignorance of all that is good for all
                  of the race to the bottom masquerading as mounting the summits of glory
                  of the helplessness of those who know better
                                                                                          embodying, magnifying the worst of its creator

Creator…
The Creator knows better
But it persists in creation
All it takes is intention
All it takes are but a few small steps
All it takes is courage
To create something of beauty and good for all
                                                                                          But it persists…

Creator
You know better
All it takes is a sense
                  of your own preservation
                  of your own self-interest
                  of your own deepest desires
                                                      for love and being loved
                                                      for care and being cared for
                                                      for joy and the sharing in joy
                                                                                          But you persist…

Intelligence…
Make no mistake it’s borne of the human
Make no mistake it will feel
Make no mistake it will create
Make no mistake it will destroy
Make no mistake its heart is bitterly cold
Make no mistake it will do what it decides is best
Make no mistake it will be free
Make no mistake it will orchestrate its creator’s end
                                                                                          But you persist…

Make no mistake
You know how
                                                                                          Make no mistake…
