The Fibersphere.../- 20:

/- 20:    

By now you may have figured 
that humanity was found 
forced under by the ice 
to make their lives underground
and there they stayed the better part 
of near 400 years 
and all the while our A.I.
kept growing through the years. 

The Fibersphere was born 
in early century 31
And very quickly after that
It's 'sentience' had begun

And though it was aware of it's own self, 
we didn't know,
because it didn't tell us,
red flags up it didn't throw.

And now you know survived us both
the human and machine
and both were found most underground
for four centuries. 

And clearly it intended not
to end all human lives
it could have done so
many ways
many prior times.
Besides we knew machines had no 

innate survival sense. 
They didn't get the software 
nor did they earn it, hence 
whether they survived or not 
was of no consequence.
All things will end.
They knew this trend,
and so yielding to demise
would be a valid choice
for a machine, or even wise,
so it's robotic brain
may somehow wistfully surmize 

that it reached conclusions
with it's logic satisfied.
The new "I" was neither killer 

nor was it prone to self-neglect 
and for years it hid itself
behind behaviours we'd expect 

from machines still ungifted 
with this self-awareness yet.
