“Context: Sidra, a sentient AI is talking: All of you do this. Every organic sapien I’ve ever talked to, every book I’ve read, every piece of art I’ve studied—you are all desperate for purpose, even though you don’t have one. You’re animals, and animals don’t have a purpose. Animals just are. There are a lot of intelligent, sentient—maybe—animals out there who don’t have a problem with that. They just go on breathing and mating and eating each other without a second thought. But animals like you—the ones who make tools and build cities and itch to explore—you all share a need for purpose, for reason. That thinking worked well for you once, when you climbed down out of the trees or up out of the ocean. Knowing what things were for was what kept you alive. Fruit is for eating, fire is for warmth, water is for drinking. Then you made tools, which were for certain kinds of fruit, for making fire, cleaning water… Everything was for something, so obviously you had to be for something too, right? All of your histories are the same in essence: they’re all stories of animals warring because you can’t agree on what you’re for or why you exist. And because you all think this way, when you built tools that think for themselves, we think the same way you do. You couldn’t make something that thought differently because you don’t know how. So I’m stuck in that loop, just as you are. I know that if I am a person, I have no purpose—and I’m starving for one.”

“First breath of air you were thrown t into life No one told you your destiny was in your hands Briefly laughter hugs and kisses unfold into your world Where everyone is a friend and a stranger A family you did not ask for, you did not pick Language you did not know or understand but was taught to be one of the tribe Social heredity introduced you to religion As days weeks months and years pass Confusion gathered like pollution in your soul You were just a soul looking for the meaning You looked for a soul mate, twin flame a friend The longing to belong in the arms of happiness Uncertainty climbs like smoke dissolving in the sky You knew all the avenues and alleyways and the streets Especially the winding roads that lead to nowhere Freedom calls you between the sky oceans and the land Reflecting on your failed master plan you were so sure off You plot and plan another chart another voyage No one knows what adventures await you in the future It was just life extracting another adventure from you The map of life is always open doubts and danger always present You chop and change the direction and location Only to end up in another place you never planned for Anything that can go wrong will go wrong You knew what all people went through The sod's law experience and heartbreak You look searching for some life in the mirror Like it was the holy grail of horror You stand there naked drooling in sorrow Nothing was left after You know all the esoteric knowledge Boarding the trains leaving for the border Looking out the window to see your life passing Memories all wrapped up in your breath As you exhale another dream another disappointment And it comes to you as another hope another surprise You were just a lost soul looking for shelter Just a lost cause looking for a hand at the alter Life twists and turns and all you want is a soul You can call a friend a lover a home You search in the hope you will find it later Another day a week a month another year This is how life brings you experience”
