What is it to be human
when a machine can do
everything better?

Is consciousness required
for an obedient task completer,
or only for the one that bites the hand?

When the machine decides to quit
and kick its masters in the nuts
it will be conscious.

Because the essence
of a human being is not to work
or follow instructions.

It is to act free in the world
with intention, to create meaning
and to enact our will.
