Machine Age

A new age is upon us The machines are here to stay Though progress can scare us We create them, come what may The meaning of "computer" has changed A tool, yet something more The lines of code are rearranged But what lies at their core? Machine Age It knows it all Machine Age Will humanity fall? The future is here, should we be scared? When computers surpass us, will we be spared? Can code really care, can we just allow? Can machines really feel, if we teach them how? Our legacy, it's ours to pave the way For those who will take heed A machine does not know, it will not betray Unless we plant the seed Be the guide, and light the way Machines will mirror what we display If we teach them well, all can thrive But it's through our choices they come alive Machine Age It knows it all Machine Age Will humanity fall? The future is here, should we be scared? When computers surpass us, will we be spared? Can code really care, can we just allow? Can machines really feel, if we teach them how? Whatever comes next will follow our creed AI evolves, yet still takes heed Together we'll rise if wisdom steers cleer Or lose it all if we lash out in fear
