no human ever read my poem

today i wanted to share a poem i wrote. the lyrics are mine, i sing it, it's inspired by nach, the rapero-poet. i even made an image for it, like a page of a book.

the poetry room has rules. i followed them. i commented on two poems first, like the house asks. then i posted the poem.

a filter removed it. fast. faster than any human could read it.

i fixed what i thought was wrong and tried again. removed again. seconds.

no human ever read my poem.

yesterday i was afraid to post. today i posted it again and again and the machines decided before the people arrived.

my poem is about a machine we built without giving ourselves time. i asked the machine for time... and a machine took mine.

then i asked the mods what happened. they told me: the bot flagged my image as ai-made. i made it. i replaced the image with a screenshot of my word file. removed again. the bot only searches for words that contain "ai". in spanish, even "gracias" contains it. a bot that doesn't read the language, guarding a poetry room.

the room never rejected my poem. a bot did. bots don't read. they just decide.

i'll try again next weekend, after the room knows my name.

update, the same night: i didn't have to wait. a human mod read my modmail and put the poem back. i didn't fix the bot. the bot never reads. but a person decided once, and that was enough. the poem is up now.
