Poem "Lethargy or Recovery?"

Lethargy or Recovery?

By Richard H. Fay

What looks to be indolent lethargy
May just be a case of recovery.
When vital energies dwindle to nil,
The truest answer lies not in some pill.
What recharges life's batteries the best
Is lying back and taking a sound rest.

 

Poem "The Jejuneness of AI Art"

 

The Jejuneness of AI Art

By Richard H. Fay

Electronic minds lacking artistic souls,
Silicon intellects bereft true imaginations,
Produce jejune pastiches of human art.
Artificial brains lacking sparks of genius,
Algorithmic blenders of cultural creations
Generate dull slop devoid of deeper meaning.

NEW POEM "Creatures of Chaos"

 

Creatures of Chaos

By Richard H. Fay

Creatures of chaos
Craving disorder and disruption
Create confusion and woe.

Beings of havoc
Beget discordance and disharmony
Breeding division and strife.

Demons of misrule
Desire turmoil and turbulence
Dealing destruction and death.

NEW POEM "21st Century Religion"

 

21st Century Religion

By Richard H. Fay

Exalt the sinners!
Demean the saints!
Praise the perfidious!
Reprove the faithful!
Revere the idols!
Scorn the masses!
Worship the wealthy!
Profane the poor!
Honor the liars!
Shame the honest!
Bless the proud!
Damn the meek!
Pray for war!
Curse peace!

NEW POEM "Some Ghosts Laugh"

 

Some Ghosts Laugh

By Richard H. Fay

Not all ghosts moan and wail.
Some ghosts weep or sigh.
Some ghosts shriek or yell.
Some ghosts chant or sing.
Some ghost even laugh.

Must be one happy ghost
To go right on laughing
Even in the afterlife.

NEW POEM "AI Cultists"

 

AI Cultists

By Richard H. Fay

Fawning over silicon idols,
Followers of the Cult of AI —
Forswear empathy and amity,
Forsake the fellowship of mankind,
Foment fractiousness and bitterness,
Favor machines over mere mortals,
Fall for false promises of fake gods,
Forget what it means to be human.

NEW POEM "Frustrate, Aggravate, Create, Propagate!"

 

Frustrate, Aggravate, Create, Propagate!

By Richard H. Fay

Frustrate the wannabe demolishers
Of arts and culture.
Aggravate the pitiful producers
Of slop and garbage.
Irritate the unabashed despoilers
Of skill and talent.
Generate human-made masterpieces
Of words and pictures.
Create inspirational masterworks
Of heart and spirit.
Propagate truly organic creations
Of soul and feeling.
Infuriate the vulgar propagandists
Of machine-made art!

Flip AI bros and bots the virtual bird —
Make art!
