Today, I was really hungry! I really wanted to write a Poem, but I didn’t have any in my inspiration. I thought of writing about aliens then I wasn’t inspired enough. Then the word “computer” came into my mind. I started to think of people complaining that their jobs are being taken away by machines; then also thought that there was a chess guy who was defeated in the game of chess by a computer 👨🏾💻 😅! Instantly, I was inspired to write the Poem below:
Ladies and Gentlemen…#enjoy.
The computer will never outclass me!
When it comes to Poetry!
Poetry is my Gift that God has given
Me! Even before I was formed in
My mother’s womb, like
Jeremiah!
I prophesy in Poetry! I give life in
Poetry! And even explain the
Past in articulation, exactly
As it happened!
…In Poetry!
Provided! You computer, don’t have
The sense of smell! You will not
Outclass me!
Provided! You computer, don’t have
A soul! You will not outclass me!
And_Provided! You computer, don’t
Have a Spirit! You will not
Outclass me!
…I am smarter than you, when it
Comes to Poetry!
All words you can take from us and
Fabricate them to your best
Intelligence
But guess what! You will never be as
Intelligent as what people can’t be!
You are just a product of our being…
And the best, people can be!
Unlike, Garry Kasparov! Perhaps the
Greatest chess player in history…
You defeated in your, Deep Blue
Mental capacity…
Computer! You will never outclass me!
Because, Poetry is not man_made or
A game. But! A Gift from God.
In Shona we say, “Ndatopedza newe”
Computer! You will never outclass
Me! When it comes to Poetry.
And don’t even think of a collaboration
With me! Because we are like an
Untamed jungle that was
Never discovered!
Will we not discover you?
I think, we have discovered you
In time enough to place you, exactly…
Where you belong! Because there will
Always be a difference between
Computers and people.
And when it comes to Poets! We are
The heritage of humanity and
The human race…
Computer…
You will never outclass me
When it comes to Poetry
Because when it comes to you…
It is only_garbage in and garbage out!
“Computer! You will never outclass me! When it comes to Poetry”
