Future World

Would it surprise you if our 
 Future world had no God?
 A 'Brave New World' offers just that
 Ones and zeros rule our habitat

 Technology has enslaved us, become our god
  And no one even finds it odd
 When babies are rolled down the assembly line
 And  each baby has their destiny  assigned

 Welcome to the world of 2620
 Anno Domini (AD) has been replaced by After Ford (AF)
 The man who built model T's aplenty
 Has taken the place of the LORD

  A world not unlike our own
 Where the super rich rule
  And control the masses
 Using technology as the tool
            -
Not for contest

Yes, present technology has enslaved us, become our own god is a question mark. Well said and delightful poem. Thanks for sharing it.

I quite like this one. Could you not use it in Brave New World contest? I fear the future is very bleak. (because I believe in Mandela effect). Nice seeing you do a poem kind of different for what you usually do!
