Go Back To Sleep
I live in a world that questions what's real;
touting an alternative reality.
And AI is keen to tell me how I feel,
through fake news, flattery, and hyperbole.
An emoji expresses feelings of love,
while commercializing God's gift from above.
And friends have morphed into internet strangers
despite the clear psychological dangers.
The world's gearing up for another world war,
and as always, power enables evil.
Governments enact deeds they claim to abhor,
for greed feeds off political upheaval.
Peace is only a word to appease the sheep:
there is nothing to fear here, go back to sleep.
I never thought I'd see what I see today,
our humanity is being stripped away.
