Upon your held-out hand
Count the endless days until they end,
Feel, as the pulse grows tired,
The angels’ wings beating about your head
Unsounding, they beat so soft.
Why count so sadly?
Learn to be merry with the merriest,
Or (change the key!) give vent to utterances
As meaningless as the bells (oh change the life!),
The sideboard fruit, the ferns, the picture houses
And the pack of cards.

When I was seven I counted four and forty trees
That stood before my window,
Which may or may not be relevant
And symbolise the maddening factors
That madden both watchers and actors.
I’ve said my piece: count or go mad.
The new asylum on the hill
Leers down the valley like a fool
Waiting and watching for your fingers to fail
To keep count of the stiles
The thousand sheep
Leap over to my criss-cross rhythms.
I’ve said my piece.

Hear that buzzword buzz, AI's the talk of the town
Promises of the future, but the truth's getting drowned
In a sea of hype and marketing schemes
Is this the revolution, or just empty dreams?
Let's peel back the layers, and see what's really there
Before we get swept up, in the AI fanfare.

Got a brand new app, says it's AI powered
Walk in the store, grab some chips, feelin' empowered
No lines to wait in, futuristic and sleek
Just scan and go, ain't gotta speak

But hold on a sec, somethin' don't feel quite right
This magic cashier, seems a little too light
Is it really AI, or just a fancy name?
For a regular system, playin' a marketing game?

Companies braggin', about their AI this and that
Chatbots and filters, where's the real tech at?
Investors confused, trust starts to erode
Who's the real innovator, on this techy road?

Hold on a sec, somethin' don't feel quite right
This magic solution, seems a little too light
Is it really AI, or just a fancy name?
For a regular system, playin' a marketing game?

Regulators steppin' in, crackin' down on the hype
Fines and sanctions, for those who ain't bein' quite type
The truth will come out, the fake will fade away
Real innovation, will see the light of day

AI is powerful, but let's use it with care
Not a magic bullet, a tool we all share
So let's be honest, and use it right
For a future that's bright, with technology's light
