Steam rises up from sidewalk grates The sounds of the city is dense and cacophonous these days As dark and shadows all that's seen As the light has given way And nature has just turned to dust Made way for brick, glass and neon lust Wall to wall media and advertising Government messages prioritising How people should live life Driverless cars stacked end to end And new age miniature space ships cruise in flight Around these congested city streets As the acid rain pours down on the people beneath Scurrying around speaking a multitude of languages This is the result of technology When it's pushed without thought in the name of greed Half of society now robotic But people forgot even tech can be satanic Like the old satanic mills of long ago past That holds the death and oppression The awakened know Will we ever be able to regain the light? Will we ever be able to put this right Very little food and conspiracy theories akin too Soylent Green This world's not big enough for you and me The human population has spread like a cancerous disease A virus eating it's host ravenously Is this a future that we want to see And technological nightmare And stuff of bad dreams Illuminated by a neon light scene.
