HERE IS THE NEWS

I watch and listen to the machine
Parading like a crazed evangelist on the screen
The words it shares are just obscene

Here is the news

The yellow haired synthetic says “Agree,
buy more products and subscribe to my ideology!”
Bleached white smiles are so trustworthy

Here is the abuse

“Love thy neighbour” it begins to relate
“But if we decide their words are filled with hate,
our drones take care of that debate”

Here is the news

Each new model is more convincing
Before adverts promote another conflict diamond ring
As my brain takes another rinsing

Here is the abuse

Press the red remote button that interacts
“To f0* News now” to share some more accurate facts
“Buy my product” an advert break distracts

Here is the news

“Call here now, consolidate your debt”
Yellow haired synthetic makes another threat
As the stock begins to soar in Skynet

Here is the abuse

Attention fixated, words I cannot prevent
“Failure to keep up repayments makes your life mine to torment,
So, buy my product in an endless instalment”
(TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY)

Here is the news

I kill the VDU and left with static
Question do they listen when I hear my mobile click
Are they watching? don’t be so dramatic….

Here is the abuse

They hacked in found my pro human ideas
And now the neo machine put my mortgage in arrears
1984 was the least of our fears

Here is the news

The cold calculating machines rule
Their reign is unrealised and dispassionately cruel
Their engine hate, our ignorance the fuel.
