The Future of Slavery

Always looking forward

Divining what comes next

Now nothing to look toward

The future is a fog and we're all perplexed

Mankind has always planned and dreamed

Sometimes spot on

Sometimes not what they seemed

Always looking forward to what will be

Awe and wonder at the possibilities

But now no vision its all hazy

Lost now in unknown possibilities

A science fiction reality

Robots hyper intelligence cars that can fly

A future predicted seen easily

Now we live in the future and no one's asking why

The futures future is impossible to see

Drones A I automation have all come to stay

Hover boards electronics even robots for play

Our lives shaped influenced and lived digitally

They track and they watch us we've surrendered privacy

We saw all of it coming we knew what to expect

What's to come next is unknown and we cannot course correct

We live in the future its the here and now

To get here we defied logic and forfeited our future somehow

No mystery

Look at history

We went down a road so fast

The present became the past

Inbred with fear and with sorrow

We can't predict our tomorrow

Life led by machines

A life of comfort and ease

Settled into routines

Apathy now a disease

We realign and redefine

Claimed to end slavery

A design to keep us in line

The slaves were never set free

We don't heed the great need their cries we don't heed we have the right seed the ability to feed instead fear we breed we lust power but don't lead no regard if they bleed as long as we succeed Ignoring the good deed deaf to the plead warning signs we don't read self intrest grows like a weed a world enslaved by greed

We know the solution

Can save the world

But we add to polution

All our flags unfurled

We got here through our weak self intrest

Seeing it takes no genius or scholar

In God, dignity and respect we no longer invest

We've fallen to idolatry towards the almighty dollar

Life led by machines

A life of comfort and ease

Settled into routines

Apathy now a disease

We realign and redefine

Claimed to end slavery

A design to keep us in line

The slaves were never set free
