    I think this is a really interesting poem and a unique way of looking at the interaction between man and machines. As I've discussed in other posts, the sci-fi world has countless books that revolve around the theme of 'the rise of the machines' against the humans who created them. This poem takes a different approach and assumes that we coexist together in peace and harmony. Of course, the phrase, 'machines of loving grace' is an oxymoron because machines cannot have truly have emotions. As Spock would say, "Fascinating."
