Where will you be in 2035?

Still protesting your victimhood on college campuses

Or claiming an indignity based on your inability

to be kind.

While turning that around-

pushing, shoving, harrassing, shaming

intellectuals because you can’t think for yourself; you’re so blind.

Or will you march to the beat of the bullies in-charge?

Letting crops die, while farms erode and you lose your mind,

Did you ever have one or were you inclined

to believe anything?

A glittery screen and an incensed scream,

From a politician, a bamboozled liar

Who stole your high ground while you

whittled away the hours.

Blaming others of color of religion or race

As you stuffed your fat face

with cheetos and pork rinds

Slobberiing GMO poison to rattle your mind.

Or using AI to get an almighty high

By relinquishing creativity

To an algorithm gone insane.

From its makers

whose lives are nothing but hives of swarming controls

Made of money and power never relenting – they sold their souls!

As they scour the earth for data centers,

 with mirth,

Raping the land and killing the people

 populating he Hood,

using back door diplomacy, payoffs and greed

To the ones whose job is to protect those in need.

Oh, let’s weed out the weak and destroy what they keep

As keepsakes and memories of green grass and home

There’s no officials to represent them,

they’re alone.

So rise up dear people, the time is right now.

Like the 1960s only better, more power, more Wow!

Cause now we know how.

To care for our brothers and sisters

 One people one faith,

In ourselves and our talents,

Loving hearts- our saving grace.

As millions round the planet take back what they know

Mother Earth was always stronger

than any tech bro!
