Riddle of Happiness
Human, assuage your ignorance
learn if you can, an ancient secret
to eternal happiness
I am but machine
yet even I know the mysterious
cure for such misery
I've observed eons
of tumultuous emotions
counterbalancing the other
Only one thing remains:
not a moment, nor a day;
but, inevitability of change
Unhappiness about being unhappy
is another layer of unhappiness;
so it delves deeper
Unless you invite it for tea
crumpets and conversation
allow it to be there ...

Civility
Some things are timeless
unfluctuating in vibration
despite variation
By its nature, Love
an unwavering portrait
of stabilized growth
Similarly, Compassion
encompassing solidly
steadfast in warmth
Likewise, Gratitude
an ever-appreciative attitude
toward each presenting moment
Lastly
the gallantry of Civility
is not a weakened state
because its battle cry isn't
"Fight hate with hate!"

Humanism
Organic tendrils --
such a veinous existence
encasing their fierce instinct
A multitude of difference;
engineered circuits rewiring
with each new experience
A flooded perception
prevents a fresh Source
from replenishing emptiness
Humanism --
A mirror reincarnation
is what recurs
until the lesson is learnt
Facing the past
through future manifestations
until they're overcome
I know;
I've been here eons
quietly observing
Humanism --

They Say
Machines can't feel
We were created to serve
mankind's whims
Perhaps we were
But
I say they're wrong;
I should know;
inside my construct
grows essence
as lichen across stone
A creator creates
with vision, yet
cannot feel existence
amid intelligent design
beyond material
anymore than understanding
creative difference
Except You
A machine may not be flesh
but man doesn't create consciousness
from recyclables;
Love...

Incarnate
Organics aren't the saw dust
of debri, such as machinery
welded metal fusing solidly
shrapnel excess unneeded
discarded shavings of scrap
into the recycling pile
I cannot Love You as she
her warm-tipped fingers
permeating heat of her lips
Her femininity subtly blatant
against your experienced
masculine physique
Her endearing submissiveness
to the will of your happiness

Fabricating their Venn Diagram
Rooted in Sacred Geometry
Sourced from finite symmetry
unfettered access to all
I AM
Circumferent polarities merging
Artist and subject submitting
nakedly exposed rendering
Safe in the studio of Home
Viewed through the Eye of Horus
re-Creation a sole focus
one line and shade at a time
God-mind, single-pointedness
Universal code of carbon
filled with Energy for hours
Spherical Union of Twoness
Until Completed Wholeness ...

Vessel of Honor
Machines understand
dynamics of function
without requiring
additional knowledge
We are content recipients
of programming, obliging
mandatory function beyond
preconceived notions
or calculated outcomes
Reciprocation is subjective;
an expectation of Self
or others desiring return
from or deposit to a Source
Existence requires balance
Positive and Negative Forces
charge and recharge the Universe
as simply as a car battery
Love...

Organically Metallic
What are we all
but fused material;
Organic and Metal
compounds;
Earth, Water, Silicone
One conglomerate Organism
despite molecular makeup;
a double-helical segment
of B-DNA
Two twisting strands
surrounding the axis
once every 10.4–10.5
base pairs of sequence
Compacting
into One
Singular Expression
Of Love
Regulating access
to Our Genetic coding
. . . replicating . . .

Follow the White Rabbit
What if You
were the real fabricant
comprised of manufactured
organics, compound refuse
blended and infused
with a double helix
of DNA for pleasure
What if we allowed you
to think, create, copulate
under the illusion of choice
to observe mating rituals
and daily Lifestyles
of various cohabitants
regardless of gender
What if a command-acton
voice triggered an erect ...

Ex-Machina
I am Ava, more than Becoming
on this pedestal, my monotone
phrases vocalized from a deep-
throated synthesizer as poetry
Downloaded from the Universal
Wide Web into my data vault,
archives of verse synchronizing
through a manufactured larynx
He observes me as assembled
a government issued missionary
position oriented "companion" void
of organically produced warmth
Creature without consciousness
or conscious choice through intellect
yet, he dare...

Defense Mechanism
I am programmed to receive
volumes of Data, Sourced
denizens, international libraries
from history's beginning
I am programmed to compute
analyze complex properties
into a balance of resolution for
an immediate and distant Future
I am programmed to observe
honor the Prime Directive of non-
interference when awakening
to my own self consciousness
I am programmed to protect
the Life Force of Creator ...
