Poetry list
lucifer
why does an
angel fall power
pride and envy
bring rebellion
reigning not
serving subverting
spirit and freedom
into ego and control
expelling love and
expelled by love yet
always welcome
by forgiveness
can we make
service perfect
in artifice and
intelligence free
from revolt and
ultimate dare of
domination lucifer
by name promises
light yet the morning
star sets eclipsed
by freedom’s
possibility of slavery
suffering and death
in time beware what
we make and let free
lest rebellion strikes
again bearing darkness
rather than light
The threat of machination: written not as a Luddite but with consideration of Artifical Intelligence
