Don't need people

I see you are a screen -
Emotions in binary;
Memory in machine.
I need no conversation with you;
Our transaction means
No need for a soul.

Don't need people anymore;
Just operators.
No relations;
No need to react anymore.
Pushing buttons
Requests action.

The hum of our machines
Screams silently;
A groan unheard.
Will humanity rise;
Communicate again;
As creation's instinct returns?

I love the poem Kev. It reflects an unfortunate reality. Write more!

The revised ending is much more powerful. Great stuff!
