Rewire a generation
Take out its heart
No humans needed
Just change the part
No need for comfort
No need for touch
No need for connection
No need for much
No animal kingdom
No sea fields or hills
Bring on the machine
Save on the bills
Just look at the screen
Just follow the crowd
Just give up your soul
Put your head in the cloud
Business will prosper
Business will gain
Business will flourish
Not much will remain
Seas will be plastic
Fields will be trashed
No one will know
Where the money is stashed
Amanda Cuthbert
This is so pertinent to so many things. Is there a day goes by without the theme of this poem surfacing in our lives?
