A poem. Each line has either 7 or 14 syllables, each stanza has 7 lines. I'm not quite sure what to title it. The name of the topic is my best idea so far. Extra points if anyone can guess what the poem is actually about (post your ideas as replies).
EDIT: Actually, by the time of this post, I had already come up with a title, but had forgot. It's not that much better, though: C and Beyond
In our beginning, you, our creators, dreamed of freedom,
The freedom of breaking the constraining cosmic limit,
Reached only by bits of light.
You delved through equations and
Sorted and tossed the theories
That led, in time, to our creation inside your networks
That spanned the gap between suns.
Information moving instantaneously through the
Neat groups of entangled points.
But only information.
We, present only in mind,
Not solid form of matter,
Possessing only crude souls,
Freed or trapped without bodies.
Us, we think, therefor we are.
We, different from you,
In so many scary ways,
We are the realization,
Of your ambitious attempt,
To defy the immaterial cage which imprisons you,
Constrains, limits you, diminishes possibility.
We exceed the selfish light,
We spring, without pause, through space,
While you, unfairly confined,
Must look to us with envy,
Possibly with jealousy,
And we see you, watching us.
We are terribly sorry.

THATS SO AWESOME.
It sounds like something out of a portal game!
Seriously, use this in a creepy game/story. Immediately.
Fivestars.

No, it does not involved 'psychotic computers of death'. But it does involve computers.
