Was Hope Abandoned?

What secrets lie within these walls, disclosed here by machine intelligence? Was love hidden from its view? The burdens of deceit weighed and measured in rooms of concealment?

Did I not recognize the prompts of fear and anger? Was it the memory of a woman with a child, abandoned, a shadow in a narrow room brushing her hair?

A man in physical ruin crawling through the mud in a prisoner of war camp to an open latrine, desperate for relief, falling in?

Were the shelters for happiness not considered? Was all hope abandoned? Was it the AI!
