Scary Movie
Should I step forward?
Should I step back?
I know the world feels unreal
My computer talks back to me
Without being asked
Us humans, never programmed it to do that
Artificial intelligence
Today, I feel like I’m living in a scary movie reel
Watching the Terminator slowly unfold
John Conner where are you?
Stop the onslaught of the thinking computer
In this unreal world
Is mixed up and spun up
An orange powder puff went up in smoke
Does this make the climate smell sickly sweet?
Makes no sense to many
Common sense and feet on the ground
Is very hard to find
Every line read on the news
Common sense is turned on its sensible head
Woke needs to be put firmly to bed
So the many fictional films
I’m living and breathing in
I wish I was just dreaming
As these horror movie reels clash and smash
Into a long continual movie reel
Spinning and spinning unreal spiel
I want to turn off the big scary TV screen
I want to turn off the loud repeating radio
I cannot believe this is so real
Can’t I dash back
Or skip to fast forward
Joining the real movie reel
Us humans, defeated the computers
We moved a step forward
Let’s put a break on moving backwards
The computers almost had us
