A terribly composed poem, which I’m going to pretend didn’t happen, inspired by the Dictionary of Sociology (Penguin)
An iHuman bricolage
Are you sure we’re not robots?
I’m scared of exclamation marks
and the lack of black dots.
The fear of alienation
from a world of automation
it’s my expert summation
the train has left the station.
It is a collective behaviour
to disappear into virtuality
creating a digital divide
stepping back from humanity.
Society is conflicted
with growing differentiation
and changing conversations
from the other generations.
