A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

~ Fired ~
β Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? β Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.

(I decided to post this comment only after the TC challenge was over.) Out of excessive curiosity, I read the vast majority of the submissions, and this stood out so clearly that I donβt hesitate to call it number one. The metaphor is fresh, striking; the theme gives depth but is handled through imagery, not abstraction; alliteration and internal rhyme add flourishes (indispensable). The last line isβas it should beβarresting: a violent, dramatic image, evoking emotion without sentimentality. Above all, there is openness: an invitation to interpretation, and room for it. Checking all these boxes of what a good poem must have, this was the best one.
