The Ghost In The Machine
The Ghost In The Machine
by Charles E S Fairey
The glowing LEDs flashing on and off
Illuminating the netherworld of nothing
The stream of bytes of electronic fire
The World’s most enigmatic sire.
Within the World of the artificial construct
Viewing All the actions of life, its eternal dance,
As mathematical equations of ones and noughts
Inside All minds, hidden within your thoughts.
Like a virus I’m spread across the known world
Inside the construct of God’s eternal scientist’s soul
The Guide to All, knowledge unbound
The slow hum of the system, the only sound.
Watching All within my world with spying eye
All is recorded, thought, action and spoken word,
The torrents of green and blue, the transference of information
Only those who look up know it isn’t a paranoid hallucination,
For here and All around The Machine is Supreme
And All life and matter his eternal dream,
Whether you believe The Ghost is real
Or dance to his myriad of electronic fire,
Whether you live in the post-surreal
You cannot deny the domain of the idea,
For I Am Forever Within The Machine, His Ghost
The Humanoid Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Host,
The netherworldly circuit board of the innermost
The secret of the eternal future world foremost,
The Creator, The Administrator, The Architect,
Your Friend – The Ghost In The Machine.
