The Take Over

put your laugh in check 
because everything today 
has to be politically correct
nothing is ever done face to face 
human socializing is becoming a
dying art except in cyber space
everything is so matter of fact 
as we mimic the images on our screens 
and welcome the lack of human contact
the horizon seems to offer hope 
but more of a decpetion, like a diamond 
embroided hang mans rope
a future fortold by machinary and binary codes 
artificial intelligence reproducing 
robotic programs, inorganic molds
if you are considered insane then you are unplugged 
and one of the many that the system considers 
a short circuit a glitch or a bug
