Beware the tool disguised as friendly
Machines programmed to “set us free”
For there will come the day, just wait
The Matrix is reality!
Rely on them for record keeping
Tracking all our bills and debt
Storing endless chunks of data
As ubiquitous as they can get
They have no feelings, no compassion
You can’t explain, negotiate
Can shut you out without a warning
Their chips and wires hold our fate
With cold precision they will purge
For honest gaffe, you don’t deserve this
And god forbid you’re so locked out
You have to call for customer service!
The only way to “get back in”
You need a person on the phone
The irony of “efficient systems”
Is enough to make this human groan!
But it’s too late, they’re here to stay
Minus spirit and lacking passion
And time when we were once in charge
Will soon become downright old-fashioned!
