The matrix was good, but often crossed the line from scifi into metaphysical musings, which in and of itself isn't bad, but it lost the impact of its message by always striving to be so symbolic.
I don't consider metaphors to be hard science.
Which is why, for years now, the genre of Scifi has been changing. Most people just call the genre SF now, not an abbreviation for Science Fiction anymore, but rather Speculative Fiction.
It's a broader nomenclature for a way wider media form than it used to be.
Miracles come From the most unlikely sources, From the butter on your toast, The well when you are thirsty, And a quiet, loving word At the end of a long, hard day.
Miracles come In the form of the postman Who brings final divorce proceedings Or long awaited news from a distant, dear friend. Words and deeds have a power unappreciated, A quiet wondrous magic, if from the heart.
Miracles come In small packages, wrapped in butchers paper, The antithesis of Yuletide's gaudy glitter. They are humble, with eternal power Shaking the foundations of your very soul.
Miracles come So when they do, you might know So pay attention, or you'll miss the show
