Ghosts In Machines
a poem inspired by today's technologies by Solomon

There are ghosts in the machines, they say. Spirit that haunts the wires and circuits. Phantoms that lurks in the codes and data. Specters that whispers in binary languages.
It's glitches in the systems, bugs in the software. Its gremlins that messes with the algorithms. Poltergeists that plays with the buttons and switches. Shadows that flickers on and off the screen.
Sometimes it's friendly ghosts, helpers in disguise. Genies that grants our wishes and commands. Wizards that conjures up wonders and miracles. Muses that inspires our creativity and artistry.
But sometimes it's malevolent ghosts, saboteurs in disguise. Demons that corrupts our files and folders. Viruses that spreads like a plague and destroys. Hackers that steals our secrets and identities.
We can't see the ghosts in the machines, but we can feel their presence. We can't touch them, but we can sense their power. We can't hear them, but we can detect their voices. We can't control them, but we can learn from them.
For the ghosts in the machines are a mystery and a marvel. A reminder that technology is not just a tool, but a partner. A challenge to our imagination and ingenuity. A symbol of our connection to the digital world.
