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.

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.
