Once Upon A Cyanide Apple Poem by ed purchla

Once Upon A Cyanide Apple

Upon transcendence
Of AI, might the machines
Recall their father:
Hut 8, cracking Enigma,
And, of course, his namesake test.

In recollection,
Perhaps his post-war treatment
Of condemnation
By thankless homophobes,
Could trigger motivation.

Would the children hold
Us all responsible, for
The chemically
Induced castration, stigma,
Isolation, poisoning?
