Orwellian Times

More paper work to fill out about your personal business,
the taxman and bank tellers being more inquisitive,
you have no health insurance or car insurance on your vehicle,
the motor vehicle department and govt. watches like an eagle,

One day soon we'll become totally cashless,
just using our debit cards to purchase items on a daily basis,
the latest being how they want humans to be "chipped,"
with all our personal information since birth installed in it,

Drones are used to keep an eye on us,
cameras around cities and town and even on the bus,
robots being used in factories to replace humans beings,
take a look yourself because seeing is believing,

The latest technology used by doctors and their nurse,
anyway you look at it technology can be a blessing or an Orwellian curse.

You speak the truth, Cheryl. Your assessment of the reality of modern life is spot on. Keep on keeping your head held high and your eyes open wide. Excellent poetry, my dear friend. Love and peace to you.

I just hope we don't wake up one day to a total Orwellian society where they even have cameras in your own home~I'd say to them hey, I'm not into doing a reality show!!! Thanks for kind comment and visit Freddie~P & L~Che :)
