In 100 Years

In another century
artificial intelligence will rule
humans will live like the Jetson's
with robots in your homes and schools

The one child only policy
will be strictly enforced
because there is no longer a need for many humans
in the brave new world workforce

Drones and autopilot flying cars will be making deliveries
to your stack and pack apartments in your walled cities
and no need to get up off the sofa and do any chores
as Rosie the robot does that and much more

Such as teaching your child manners and helping with homework
taking care of the laundry while always being alert
assigned to be your maid but also be your family spy
as she can tell what you are thinking by looking in your eyes

Big brother will also be watching your every single move
so if you need to use the bathroom or have nooky... they're downright rude
you'll feel like your in a movie your ancestors watched long ago
when a man was being watched 24/7 called the Truman Show

And if you try to run away from your camera controlled life
Rosie will run after you and you will pay the price
for bolting away from your nuts and bolt prison drama
she'll drag you back home repeating, beep, smile, your on candid camera!
