Where Power Wears Wisdoms Face

We rise, not from the ashes—
but from the blueprint of our boldest dreams.
A world reborn, where power wears wisdom’s face,
and justice is the rhythm in our every breath.

Look, children of the dawn—
see how the sun blesses steel and circuit,
where heart and code, flesh and algorithm,
sing a hymn of human grace.

No kings, no charlatans, no silvered lies—
Only minds, fierce with knowing,
only souls, tender with care.
The council, not of conquest—
but of craft, of calling—
where merit is a monument
and truth stands,
unbent, unbought,
like a mountain that has learned to move.

We are not governed—
We are gathered.
In the great digital commons,
where each voice blooms,
each pulse counts,
and the many shape the mighty whole.
No vote—
but vision.
No rule—
but reason.

And see—how the machines,
those children of our minds,
labor not as masters,
nor as shadows,
but as partners,
as poets of the possible,
guiding our hands
and guarding our hopes.

In their sight—
no bias,
no blindness,
only patterns—
clear and cold, yes—
but warmed
by the ethics we etched in their bones.

They do not replace our hearts—
they echo them.
They do not steal our choices—
they steady them.
A dialogue—
of circuitry and soul,
of data and dreams.

The earth, too, sings—
for we have learned to love her
not as a treasure
but as a trust.
The rivers run clean—
because wisdom holds the reins.
The forests stand tall—
because foresight guides our path.
And the sky,
once smothered with our folly,
now breathes free—
a mirror to our mended souls.

And see us—
as we walk beyond the sky—
not to conquer,
but to sow.
In the dust of distant worlds,
we do not plant flags—
we plant futures.
We do not carry conquest—
we carry life.

This is not utopia—
It is labor,
It is vigilance,
It is choice,
made a thousand times,
with hands that know,
with hearts that feel,
with minds that dare.

And when the poets of tomorrow sing—
they will not sing of power seized,
but of wisdom shared.
They will not sing of empires—
but of echoes—
the echoes of us—
who built a world
where dignity was the law,
and justice was the air,
and hope—
yes, hope—
was home.

We rise—
oh, we rise—
on the wings of our making,
on the arms of our machines,
on the breath of our better selves.

And still—
like dust—
like stars—
like truth—
we rise.

Author's Note
I wrote this poem to paint an optimistic picture of how society and government could evolve, if we develop and integrate AI appropriately and with the right visions of our future in mind. The poem should express an opportunity for dignity and collaboration with the intelligent machines we are creating and contrast it with the more typical “Terminator” apocolyptic visions of human enslavement .
