5g

1G, 2G, 3G, 4!
Keep the wheel spinning
We have to have more, more, more!

GENERATIONS, GENERATIONS, give us more, I say
How about 5?
This is what we need: fast, faster, fastest
Ooooh! Now we are alive!

More ready access for swift swiping
One through four were great but 5 is living

Dead to the incontestable reality
Just an illusion, all this fancy glossed over technology

Old and watered down, just mere reflections of Ancient Kemet
Now, what is all the hoopla for when health is compromised and 
COVID-19 is in it?

Birds and bees sucker punched and disoriented with 3 and 4
Now, man is practicing social distancing because of ignorance and a want—what an evil conjuring like never before

MADNESS, MADNESS spinning all around
From China to Italy and America, no tissue, Lysol or Doritos can be found

STOP! Unplug from this insidious darkness
AWAKEN! Plug into sweet luminousness
