Men versus Machines

- Patarawut (New) Sritipsukho -

Machines may mark men’s minds their expiry
As they possess so much ability
That no men ever match in memory;
Neither in precision nor accuracy.

Why hire clerks, when machines can calculate.
Why need workers; machines better create.
Why use humans, machines do compensate.
Seems as this invention decides our fate.

But flaws exist amid their perfection;
Ask if they can beat men’s intuition.
Certainly machines do follow instructions,
Though what they do not have is passion.

To beat them is what men are now obsessed,
Until we realize: that is not progress.
Cooperate, not compete, is what’s best.
With men’s minds and machine’s marks, our dream’s limitless.
