You Will Own Nothing Not Happy

Two hundred feet above the ground, Our lives consist of endless nothing's. Earth is all but destroyed by our hands, People below scattered here & there, not wanting the life I chose. Governments have abandoned us. AI is our keeper. The plan set long ago. Promises given. Promises taken. Nothing to look forward to.. Only death. Courtyard an hour a day, Person or AI? Can't tell anymore?! Despair.. Hopelessness.. No thoughts allowed. I look below, Envy.

I really enjoyed your poem. It painted a dark & gloomy future. Love the title. I have heard the quote online, " You will own nothing & you will be happy," so I totally got the narrative. See, you're new like me. Good luck, mate. Safe writing, buddy ????
