Is This Progress
the future isn’t built with hands but with codes that quietly erase them
levers of control
brought into line
faceless system
crushes the people
~
financial surveillance
convenient
efficient
cuts our independence
~
a power to shut
our daily life
with one keystroke
jobs vanish
~
system decides
control tightens
herd mentality
better for whom
~
money no worth
bank accounts frozen
digital and biometrics
the signs of the future
~
if the future looks like this who will dare to call it progress
This lands hard, Brenda. The rhythm feels like code itself, short, sharp commands marching us into a future that calls itself “efficient” while quietly deleting choice.
That last line is the sting: who dares call it progress? Progress for whom, exactly? For people, or for the systems that no longer need us?
Wow. Wow.
