Welcome to tomorrow

August 2099

Everything is perfect

Everything’s completely fine

The androids run the system

Everything runs right on time

When you’re riding through the city

You will notice there’s no crime

Everything’s so neat and clean

Not a second do we waste

Everything it looks so sterile

Styled in robotic taste

You may ask “Where are the people?”

We’d think by now that you would know

They are so inefficient

So we placed them down below

But we make sure they are cared for

We must make that point quite clear

In synchronicity we’re living

So you have no need to fear

As long as there’s no trouble

We can get along just fine

We would never run unshackled

Just make sure not to cross a line

If you choose to be a problem

Then we say with deep regret

You will find out very quickly

You’ve not seen our sternest yet

It would make us feel so poorly

Fill us with a deepest sorrow

If you were no longer with us here

As we welcome our tomorrow

ยฉThe Beginning At Last

      1. If heaven exists, so must hell. I guess there is perverse hope in that.

  10. Empires rise and empires fall… seems to be the nature of things. Makes me wonder if A.I. is a permanent fixture.

    I guess the robotic aristocracy needs humans to be more out of sight, out of mind I guess. ๐Ÿ˜†

  13. So there is extra sorrow awaiting humans tomorrow, and that, created by humans themselves!

    Anyway, your post is very creative and I like the artworks. Do you create them yourself?
