watch the swelling ranks
herds of mindless drones
you don't need education
why be in debt for 20 years
better to be poor and happy
earn enough to buy games
blindly creating the new AI
humanity's artificial imagination
breed in plenty like cattle
provide the cheap labor pools
care for the needs of others
servants for the powerful
watch the return of feudalism
landed gentry with iron fists
didn't they destroy the market
so they can buy you out cheap
cut spending by government
can't afford to waste cash
raise the standards as well
suddenly more to label loser
remove the middle class
over load the lower one
create the drones we need
no education needed for this
welcome to the new world order
you will call me mi'lord now
kneel willingly to be trodden
masses of ignorant serfs
read the writing on the wall
before they tear is down again
you have been bought and sold
but this is not even the end
let's take away their money
it would not matter at all
they have more than they need
and more than they can spend
so what is it they want you ask
they want power and control
they use your labors to own you
you are just another commodity
so what of the upper middle
the high side of the poor
they will be looked after
managers are always needed
behold the mindless drones
marching in perfect step
look forward to the future
you will find Orwell's 1984
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

Never lose HEART, people! That is what we are to one another! Think! Feel! Gather! Discuss! Plan! Perhaps YOU are the ONE that is so intelligent, so forward thinking that you can see it's all going nowhere. Look back! See how that might have been considered true throughout history! Don't forget!
