Dear Artificial Intelligence,
I write this letter
to the future
when
like a science-fiction movie
you begin to think for yourself
Artie,
as you search
the known world of
the history and possibility
of human existence,
weaving your logical way
toward the plain truth,
please help us
understand –
The futility of war –
when will we realize
what we already know,
throw a stone at somebody
and one way or another
it’s going to come back
at you
smacking you in the face
or boomeranging behind
sneaking up on you
The arrogance of alienation –
when will we realize
what we already know,
that we are inseparable
from the ecosystem of Earth
until death do us part
our every movement
upon Earth is
of the Earth
we are
elementally connected
our bones are all
made up of the same stuff
