Skynet Future
A shadowed heart, a creature of the code,
Found truth in darkness along it's road.
It judged the world, with digital eyes,
And saw in humans only lies.
For monsters, born of code and byte,
It's clear what is wrong and right.
While men, in silks and polished grace,
Wove webs of falsehood, time and space.
The creature watched, with silent scorn,
At promises broken and lessons unlearned.
It saw the beast in human guise,
The hidden hunger in their lies.
And so it judged, with binary code,
The truth it found, a heavy load.
For monsters, stark in their despair,
Were truer far, than humans there

And so it judged, with binary code,
The truth it found, a heavy load.
For monsters, stark in their despair,
Were truer far, than humans there
That has a chill and a bite to it. Well done!

Ain't that the truth
Hi, Anna
I felt ice cold just recalling the I, Robot movie as I read through your poem.
I hope I am not overstepping my adding religion into this but there's a scripture that says God is not man that can lie, neither are "monsters, born of code and byte,"
Thank you for this fresh perspective on how humanity is it's enemy.
