Idiocracy?.....

OβlearyΒ was right- Turn on, tune in and drop Out,
Connect, log on, voluntary oblivion.
Eyes unable to resist constant checking
Of phones, social network,
We are slaves to flat screens,
that make us
thoughtless,
malliable,
possessed,
sheep....
You read this ..are you βconnectedβ too?
Our minds and personalities stolen
Tongues silent,
Love ties loosened.
Digits frantically active.
If you had to choose
Family - forever?
Or
Devices- never?
Even the slightest hesitation
means we are surely doomed
to be enslaved by unloving masters.
Joining a universe of consciousness sapped
creatures,
addicted to our devices.
Yes. De..vices
Subliminal slavery,Β Β yet
all willingly submitting..
Who owns you?
Do you care?
Or do you just want to gaze,unblinkingly
at a screen feeding you with idiocy?
Without a single shot being fired,
without destructive means,
we have become our Masters toys.
Stay connected and you will become
disconnected.....
And unable to safely log out
ever...
