Mammal and Machine

Mammal and machine coexist,
but which has the greater potential?
We cannot compete
with silicon speed,
yet the hardware brain
has no heart,
and no intuition.
Our thought processes
are slow,
yet adaptable to any condition.
Our memories have little recollection,
yet we have a divine connection.

But more, more than all the above,
we have the ability
to love.

Universal Beliefs / ᎢᎬᏩᎾᏓᎴᎩ ᎤᏬᎯᏳᏒᏗ

My religion is the oldest in the world.
I believe those things
that humans have always believed.
The elements of my religion
were said by Aquinas
to be a proof of
the existence
of God.

I have no need
for another creed.
