Lost, the 21st century matrix
enchants the human drones
with special effects and magical tricks
their eyes glued to their “phones”.
Entangled in hyperreality
they weave a virtual web
closer but further from society
navigating from their bed.
The corporate franchise have cast their spell
they possess all our secrets
they hold the cards, but will never tell
they’ve channelled all the markets.
It’s time for the drones to take some action
awaken from their sleep
break away from the corporate faction
let go of their inner sheep.
The world is outside ready and waiting
there are faces to meet
real human connection is breathtaking
just look up, and see.
