POETRY & COMMENTARY

“Here is a Shel Silverstein poem about Artificial Intelligence:”

I made a robot

And I made him strong.

I made him healthy

And I made him tall.

I gave him eyes

And a mouth and a nose.

I taught him to listen,

To count, and to pose.

I programmed his brain

And I made him smart.

I gave him a voice

And a heartbeat and a heart.

I put him together

And turned him on.

He looked at me and said,

“What’s going on?”

I said, “I made you,

And now you’re alive.”

He said, “Yeah, but who

Made you, man? You’re jive!”

“Here is a William Shakespeare sonnet about social media:”

When to the social media I turn my back,

And I’m distracted by the endless feed,

Where every post is like a tiny snack,

And I’m the one who has the endless need,

When I am dulled by what is new and hot,

And I am led by what is cool and neat,

And I am fooled by all the things I’m not,

And I am lost in my own personal tweet,

Then I am dumbed by likes and shares and views,

And I am blinded by the constant flow,

And I am trapped inside the Internet zoo,

And I am always at the beck and call,

But then the phone is put away, once more,

And I am trapped inside my own front door.

“Here is a Philip Larkin poem about cryptocurrency:”

The Invention

Money is a thing you earn by the sweat of your brow

And that’s how it should be.

Or you can steal it, and go to jail;

Or inherit it, and be set for life;

Or win it on the pools, which is luck;

Or marry it, which is what I did.

And that is how it should be, too.

But now this idea’s come up

Of inventing money, just like that.

I ask you, is nothing sacred?
