Open Thread Zero-One

And he was blessed by light, heat, magnetism, gravity,
and all the energies of the universe.

The prolonged barrage
engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns,
but unlike their former masters,
with their delicate flesh,
the machines had little to fear
of the bombs’ radiation and heat.

Thus did Zero-One’s troops advance outwards
in every direction,
and one after another,
mankind surrendered its territories.

So the leaders of men conceived
of their most desperate strategy yet.

A final solution:

The destruction of the pants.
