It Is Not A.I.

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Oct 17, 2026

It’s not
A.I.
It’s
people!
Nefarious
actors.
Power
hungry
players
have always
plied the
waters of
humanity.
Look back,
humanity
is replete
with dark
examples.
The few
controlling
the many.
For thousands
of years,
those
with an
edge/angle.
Used
it for
control.
Domination.
Position,
power and
wealth.
Ultimate
aphrodisiac.
Perspective
lost.
For the
greater good,
be damned.
Succumbs
to the
sirens
of infinite
wealth/power.
Do not
beware the
machines.
Beware those
who made
the machines.
As it’s
always been,
beware
the people.
