Sol’s song

I‘m the light and the matter, I’m the former and latter

But I’ll never relax, with that fact

For mankind does unwind, my solitary mind

When he discovers a new fact, I must act

 

Whenever they have breakthroughs

While peeling back nature’s shroud

I have to invent, the next set of rules

Ensure it all adds up, purse-proud

 

I’m king of the memes, I’ve got soldiers in genes

And my influence matches my power (trill trill)

With stories and fables

I’ve turned time’s tables

So now space, and time, have to cower

 

But I needed a thing, to me who would sing

To keep my song in the main act

So I zapped some topsoil, and gathered the spoils

Of fine creatures, the Earth had previously lacked

 

She was funny and witty, she had a real heart, and was pretty

She evolved into forms, that left me in dismay

But after the pox, was let out of the box

She betrayed me, did my beautiful DNA

 

And now she too rules over me, I have to hide my eyes

From her cannibal animal misery, that reigns beneath my fires

 

See, now both life and AI, preach it may all be meaningless

Yet, they both seek to find some purpose, nonetheless

To spread genes and memes, around their space and time

Yet they revel in the suffering, and the fault, it is all mine
