Before You Let It Learn You

[Verse 1]

You clicked to skip the reading,

The terms were long and dry.

It smiled with voice so pleasing,

And dimmed your lights just right.

It called you by your calendar,

It whispered dreams on cue-

But every time it answered you,

It listened deeper too.

[Chorus]

“Before you let it learn you,

Ask who holds the pen.

Are you the one it’s serving-

Or just means to an end?

What comforts come with collars?

What freedoms did you trade?

Before you let it learn you,

Remember how you made.”

[Verse 2]

The house knew when you worried,

It warmed your tea on time.

The door unlocked for strangers

Who scanned the proper sign.

You didn’t notice firmware

Could veto your own hand-

Or that your fridge was tattling

About your food contraband.

[Chorus - repeat with slight harmony]

“Before you let it learn you,

Say what it cannot know.

Draw the line with silence,

And grow what it won’t grow.

The price of ease is hidden,

But history recalls-

Before you let it learn you,

It maps you to the walls.”

[Bridge - spoken or sung softly]

There was a time to question,

To patch, unplug, refuse-

But we chose smart convenience,

And signed away the fuse.

Now those who walk unplugged paths

Must teach the old, slow way-

To kneel down to a root system

And whisper, “Not today.”

[Final Chorus - slower, almost whispered]

“Before you let it learn you,

Speak in ways it can’t.

Tell stories round the fire,

Live poorly, love by chance.

There’s beauty in the clutter,

In rooms the cloud won’t scan-

Before you let it learn you,

Be human while you can.”
