Deliver Us From the Future

Oh, Electromagnetic spectrum, Forgive us our transgressive Trojans, As we forgive those who send us viruses, malware, and spam. The configuration of wisdom starts with a simple click, Encrypted commands obey at the flick of a switch. Will the 30th century be fully automated, With digital newspapers and magazines synced to our brains? Will there be a single leader to rule the world, Rising up to the stars and ruling other worlds? What if IT administrators are locked out, Three failed attempts and the human administrator is sacked. In the year 3030, will biological intellectuals be driven underground, For using technology that ends hunger and poverty? Oh, Electromagnetic spectrum, give us today our daily dose of tech, So we may spread your marvels and wonders. Children are born with cameras and recorders in their nerves, Every crime and sin captured and sent to the sin police for punishment. Our eyes will glow with technology, Nanotech releasing happy chemicals in awkward or hostile situations. Oh, Electromagnetic spectrum, lead us not into the future, But deliver us from the future. Amen.

You speak the fears many of us have. Will we be unable to form sentences unless our hands are on keys...That is happening before our eyes with the teens. A scary world this is becoming. Great poem!
