THIS IS THE AGE OF TRAGEDY
This is the age of tragedy
we are drowned
in the sea of technology-
nothing matters now--only
devices, gadgets, machines, contraptions
that claim: 'We'll make you happy'
This is the age of tragedy
blown over a thousand times Orwellian prophecy
none is free--everyone is subject to the minutest scrutiny
We regard ourselves smart--or supposedly-
but prostrate before that highest authority
faceless, feelingless, mute, the ubiquitous and iniquitous LED
This is our self-afflicted tragedy
in our proclamation: ' Progress, progress at any cost'--
we have lost our entire humanity
When you are in tears and your heart is heavy
help is on hand, you won't be lonely
just flick the switch, browse over Wiki.
