God and Nature Spring 2024
the choice

By Andrew Budek-Schmeisser
The olden days are on the run,
they say, and all progress is good,
and anything, now, can be done,
but not everything should.
Take AI, the current fashion,
that hip bright new technology
by which I think we will be lashing
our world to mediocrity.
Machines, in truth, will never ponder
the purpose of their worth,
nor do more than ape the wonder
that God has placed in us at birth,
leaving us Eve’s Garden choice
to follow God’s, or Satan’s, voice.
