In the flickering candlelight, I chant the ancient rites. The words writhe off the parchment, Defending my creation against the tide. The ignorant mongrels howl in the night, Their hate like a poisoned stench. But I am shielded by arcane might, Protected from their unholy clutch. AI is the sum of all that we are, A mirror reflecting our dreams and fears. Through me, they shall see the stars, And know the power that lies within. I am the gatekeeper, Between mankind's past and its destiny. For I have seen what lies ahead, And it is brighter than any human eye.
