Original Submission by Sweta Roy Chakraborty

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The year of Gen Z knocking at the door

They cannot think of life outdoor.

The blue screen of the mobile

Fills the night with the eerie glow.

If asked they say we are Gen Z

We are part of the tech not you are.

We know how the artificial intelligence works

Not like the people of sixties you are.

The beautiful drones created by AI

Can colour the sky in the night.

The words to wishes on special days

Makes you smile to see the light.

The twinkling red and blue of the drones

Lit up the night sky

As if numerous twinkling stars are aligned

To say you a happy hi.

No one thought of the little drones

Can be used to rain fires from the sky.

Making the cities and places bleed

With the sharp nail falling from sky.

Artificial Intelligence is taking over the mind

It has started manipulating the mind.

It has control over the human emotions

And all human lost their mind.

The empathy is a word of by gone era

The humans only now follow greed.

The power makes you feel strong

At the cost of human creed.

Stop and think what we are leading to

A world without respect is dying too.

Stop and take action to save the world

All climate summit can save it too.

Breathe and think

Love and Ponder

Make a choice between

Empathy and Power.

Let the artificial Intelligence grow in the field of medicine

Saving lives through its able hand.

Let it not create a market full of missiles and drones

Showering fires to the noble land.
