Written Word
There is a gracefulness to the
Written word that cannot be
Equalled by typeset or font
Even my scratchings speak of
Uniqueness in an homogenised world
Is this happening to our
Vision of beauty
Where AI filters mean we all look the same
Please, no
Give me your grey hair
Your wrinkles and warts
Your multiple chins and
The way you squint when you grin
For if we look the same
Then how long
Before all artistic endeavour is
Nothing but formula
Stay weird and wonderful
And uniquely you
You’re our only hope

Thoughts
Originality is hard to find. I guess there is nothing new under the sun but I love how people are able to create. Would A.I. ever think of building such a temple? People are amazing. Sri Mariamman Temple – Singapore.
