the new tyranny

The New Tyranny  I had this nagging headache and went to see my doctor, his waiting room was full of humanity with an assortment of illnesses The table in the middle of the floor used to be full of newspapers and magazines, it was nude and didn't even covered with a tablecloth there was silence, ten patients looking at their mobile phones while waiting to be called I walked home took an aspirin and went to bed in the night it rained At dawn, the rain trumpeted on the old tiles I stayed in bed until the rain turned into a soft  drizzle, but I was thinking of the internet. our thoughts and secrets are no longer our  property, but shredded by authorities and by those who sells soaps we are prisoners of an all-embracing society  all thought other than banal gossip on Facebook be charmed by clumsy dogs and smart cats what was heralded as a tool of communication by our democratic institution, who knows more about us than is good. Stasi of East Germany is only 100 times better Nothing can be nobler than demanding our right to free speech, not to be censured, and called seditious  in the USA, democracy is set aside when students are arrested when shouting slogans.
