Yours, Sincerely

Yours, Sincerely

Sincerity, now there's a word with positive connotations,
An adjective that's too absurd for the leaders of our nations.
They ponder this and promise that
But what's finally received
Is the 'too late; whoops; we got it wrong;
Our intent was never to deceive.'
How corrupt the nation state, it cannot help but smother
And churn out unhappy worker drones
Like Orwell's twisted, fucked Big Brother.
Then look at us....moronic, simple one and all,
'Connected' yet oblivious, blind to our own downfall.

All this used to make me angry and I've always liked to swear
But when the mass are blind you're left behind
And then you cease to care.
I will not play this game no more, I'm no longer having fun
Turn off the stars, pack up my dreams,
Dismantle everyone.
Write a letter to my lover, give her my apology
Hope that I die in hysterics but that I do so peacefully.
For prepare or ignore it matters not,
Grace and despair are all I have lately,
For very little matters very much
And almost nothing matters greatly.

Bad Rhymes this is right up my street!! what is happening to humanity??I watch parents picking their kids up from school  who dont even look up from their phones to ask them what sort of day they have had!! The future actually scares me and years ago when I watched the film Idiocracy' I laughed thinking how the world could never get like that ..now I wonder!!! Good work!

Thanks for having a look lodigiana. Like you, I don't think the fact that we are allegedly now 'connected' is a particularly good thing - apart from to sell us stuff and for the state and/or corporations to be able to track our every thought....and despite the 'connectedness', folk now don't seem to speak to each other, the attention span appears to be that of a gnat and emotional growth is, in my opinion, becoming stunted....in all it can't be good in the long run. Alas....shantih and all the best.
