Counterpoint for Human and Computer

Human:
The first time is the charm
the third time is the third time
So I challenge anyone
to measures with me here
Who accept is a suicide
that overestimates himself
Because nobody defeats me now
neither the world champion poet
Nor a Freestyle rapper
nor the best computer
 
Computer:
Nor the best computer?
you say that being a simple human?
You're very proud
but now is your time
Because your ego devours you
and you think that you're superior to extreme
But a sample is enough
Today the bombs that your minds created
are smarter than the idiots that throw them
 
Human:
The idiots that throw them
don't represent me
But who invented them
maybe you owe your trust
And even if it seems joke
your life is for their invention
And I say "life" with compassion
to a unreasonable grouting og circuits, chips and cables
without soul or heart
 
Computer:
Without soul or heart?
look who says it
When localize a bathroom
wash your mouth with soap
Because it's an aberration
your wired moral
A swarm stung you in the eyes?
Or only you don't want to see
that there're people like you
thirsty and hungry
 
Human:
Thirsty and hungry?
And what do I've to do?
If those who don't do what needs to be done
are irresponsible
Among a lot of unpresentables
a machine critics me
It invents feeling
without knowing what is a father
And it doesn't even know what Mother's Day means
 
Computer:
It doesn't even know what means?
You're like Pilate
you wash your hands and you're ingrate
And to your race you don't dignify
Because, how you explain me?
Your olds are forgotten
Forgetting what they bring to you
they are treated like inept
They are misrespected
and they are left behind
 
Human:
They are left behind?
If something like this happens
Could it be my deserve?
or could it be that I failed to who is by my side?
Like an entity without past
question with treason
He'd say "I think, therefore I am"
our friend Descartes
But we had to think you
because if not you wouldn't exist
 
Computer:
Because if not I wouldn't exist?
we're transcendentals?
Your existential problems
you don't solve it even with philosophy
It gives me own shame
don't know what I'm and I question it
You look at me with suspicion
And you're still arguing with bitterness
If you descend of a monkey
Or of a guy living in the sky
 
Human:
Of a guy living in the sky?
it's a sharp reflection
I prefer to have that doubt
to be a iron piece
I'm my own figurehead
I suggest you listen to me
I chose what I prefer
and you don't know what is the freedom
You do what you can
but i do what i want
 
Computer:
But I do what I want?
and you're prisoner of a routine?
In your houses, streets and offices
Corrupted by the money
You don't know what is austere
consuming pure brightness
I tell it to you and I humiliate you
The only of your organs that work
And sure you don't donate them
are the purse and the pocket
 
Human:
The purse and the pocket?
how you believe that
you was made?
They got the money
For your plates and screws
Somebody spent a good money
to be able to buy you
So you don't do the part
because you are tiring me
And seriously I'm thinking
unplug you in a while
 
Computer:
Unplug me in a while?
You science is so simple
Resort to violence
how argument to shut me up
But I won't shut up
And earlier than late
I see that my allegation hurts you
And it alters your biorhythm
Even though I don't imagine my algorithm
will be so coward
 
H: You automaton
C: You wild
H: You artifice
C: You hypocrite
H: You clone
C: You primitive
H: You entelechy
C: You racist
H: You anathema
C: You intolerant
H: You exegete
C: You egocentric
H: You libel
C: You caveman
H: You alien
C: You corrupt
H: You hardware
C: You inhuman
H: Go away!
C: Go away
