Shape Shifting Ideologies
by Michael Doyle

In this age of putrid and flaccid philosophy 
We have turned our faith away from mankind
Some feel AI is a better path than ideologies
In which undefined concepts are a forced bind

We bid the surface farewell and fall asunder
Knowing less about perfection than the blunders
That is our burden broken down into complexity
While we wish for anything that brings simplicity

All hail the glory of the simplest machine
Rejecting all binary but the ones and zeros dream
That all our answers are pitched as AI's capability
As we give up our souls to be ruled by technology

Shadows of what is coming are sold at a fever pitch
As the nerds and geeks find power comes with an itch
An itch that must be scratched to become satisfied
So long as there's an un-pushed button to be tried

We will remake the system on a trip to new freedom
Where there are cosmic hijinks lost in the kingdom
It's about trusting an allegedly impartial information
Decision without thinking on the source and formation

All hail the glory of the simplest machine
Rejecting all binary but the ones and zeros scheme
That all our answers are pitched as AI's capability
As we give up our souls to be ruled by technology

Given up because giving up shows the end doesn't matter
Life's serendipity is tossed against the wall and shatters
As the children learn only what they are told to read
We have forgotten that humanity is all that we really need

How have we come to trust in vaporware as if we aren't aware
That when conceptions aren't real we should always beware
There is no launch date for the miracles yet to come
And the emperor's new clothes are as naked as its kingdom

All hail the glory of the simplest machine
Rejecting all binary but the ones and zeros schemes
That all our answers are pitched as AI's capability
Will we really give up our souls to be ruled by technology?
