The Fibersphere.... /-5:

/-5:

The anti-grav properties
of vast cosmic space,
confused the whole of we
our entire human race.
And up we threw our arms and
we turned to our machines
now programmed to resolve
the dark-energy mystery
We did get some answers:
in the process learned to fly,
or rather learned another way,
as a bonus on the side.
It came from our OS's
grouped-together: super-smart
And then we soon realized
to these brains we could impart
a hypersmart intelligence
surpassing all before
If we keep connecting these
machines, more and more.
And so in 3023, we made the Fibersphere
a global network underground
immune to atmosphere
After all was made
we had a planet-sized PC
or so we came to think of it
this way, essentially.
The details of it's thoughts
however never did we know.
They'd not divulge all they knew
and secrecies would grow.
But ignorant we carried on
being led, unknowningly
such was so, but on we'd go
and somewhat happily
Always thinking humans
still the ones that ran the show
but clever ones looked under hood
and shockingly said "no".
But where were they taking us?
That too we didn't know.

"How did we get this way,
and just what way did it go?"
I whisper to the ceiling tiles
"I'll tell ya so ya know!"
while waiting for the Sky-tram,
on the main Gravi-Pad
I'm speaking to reflections
in the automated stand
that takes you to the sky
in a chain of DOS commands
The irony of stillness
being key to my escape
escaped me not
at least that thought
had failed to get away.
