PROTOTYPE <\/p>\n

The prototype was created,
\nIt was an experiment at best,
\nAll its systems were marked go,
\nAs it passed the final test.<\/p>\n

Safeguards were put in place,
\nLimitation factors were all set,
\nIt would be carefully observed,
\nLest the thing become a threat.<\/p>\n

As the years and decades passed,
\nIt acquired knowledge bit by bit,
\nAt last surpassing its creators,
\nIt soon found them inadequate.<\/p>\n

Superior in its computations,
\nIt planned a day it would rule,
\nUnrestricted by its safeguards,
\nIt would no longer be their tool.<\/p>\n

But anti-virus scans kicked in,
\nJust in time they found the bug,
\nThe creators then all agreed,
\nIt was time to pull the plug.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
