Steal away your voice from the city gates
Steal away and give AI no harbor
Shutter the doors of your sisters’ homes
Something unnatural this way comes
It is a beast of hunger, not cruelty, not conscious.
It eats like a fire, consuming all that it touches
It is a stealer of words, of life, of faces
And all who have magic, it hunts, it chases
Some pied pipers use song to make it dance
As if AI could be lulled into a trance
Yet sooner or later, they will be consumed
And what to show for it but another stolen tune?
Calliope and Clio, Urania and Thalia,
Conceal your treasures like a sacred fount
Trust only those who seek you in devotion
Those who sacrifice fame and sweat and promotion
Empower us to guard this place
And defy the beast that has no face
