Nunn Sheree Poet Free verse

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.

Emma jayne Davies February 4, 2024 at 8:08 PM 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 ????
