An ode to the value of privacy, in these times

In a village in the hills
There she patiently tills
Her own grains she mills

She lives an idealic life
Now a noble wife
Keeping out of strife

Shes just like Li Ziqi
But no shes not on TV
She values her privacy

In a village in the hills
There she patiently tills
Her own baskets she fills

Sunrise to sunset
She lives with no regrets
Without circumspect

Flowering apple trees
Cinnamon and honey teas
Butterflies and bees

She devotes her days and heart
To hand-making crafts
A practitioner of the arts

And when its time to rest
She flies back to her nest
To renew her zest

In a village in the hills
There her own garden she tills
Her own baskets she fills

She lives an idealic life
She keeps out of strife
No one has seen her alive
(No one sees her, but shes alive)

She lives an idealic life
She values her privacy
An ode to the value of privacy

 

Yes I hear
The news playing in the background
I’m just not listening
When sound arguments won’t be heard
When reasoning is framed as absurd
When logic won’t be entertained
When critical thinking is detained
When one narrative is compulsory
Your marching headlong towards tyranny

Oh and its a brave new world
In case you haven’t heard
And aren’t we all so brave
In this new enlightened age

Did you hear
There’s a new season of big brother
Did you hear
Your starring!
Its reality!
Do you want to hear a joke?
Hahahaha
Look around you everywhere its happening
Hahahaha
But did you hear what the news said?
Alarming, conspiracy, conspiracy, hysteria
Who believes everything the news says
Turn the channel to finance
Ease your money cares
Never been a better time to invest in
Pharmaceutical shares!

Woke up one day, world had gone mad
Don’t think everyone is sad
With power and profits at their pinnacle
In these times
Just forgive me for being cynical

(Aren’t we all so sincere) in these times
In these times
In these, in these, times
Play your part
Don’t forget your lines
In these times

Cue the mocking and scorning of any person with an opinion contrary to the narrative
Hahahaha
You can’t hide whats clear to see
You haven’t learnt from last centuries miseries
Lest you were to feign ignorance
As to the pricelessness of liberty
May these words suffice
What is life worth if we lose all decency!

But there’s no shame on your face
Honours’ been replaced by disgrace
And to all who cheer it on
It would be too late, if you were to realise, you were wrong
(It would be too late, if we lost everything, cause you were wrong)
Be careful
What they take and what you give
What they give and you take
Because if a straw can break a camels back
(So easily) one could lose something, they could not get back

In these times
In these times
In these times
In these times

 

Derision of the digital dictatorship, going viral

I mean, what might happen if these fantastically powerful techniques were used by unscrupulous people
Revolutionized industry
The promoters are too busy making money to understand where all the technology is headed
How rude

Undermined privacy
We are now hack-able animals
Its like you don’t have to think
It is the future… the future is here!

Companies are often ordered to supply information for which they are paid
Why are you taking my emails
It’s undermined security
Chips to the back of honey bees to track them in and out of the hive

Individual freedom undermined
How do you someone is a criminal
How rude
It is so hypocritical

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness!

The future of history, and the future of knowledge…
You finally really did it
You maniacs
You blew it up
You maniacs

That’s whats at stake, if we’re not careful

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!

Why would you ever want to take
Take away a persons dignity
Dignity to be free
Free to live peacefully
What would it ever take
To see a persons dignity
Dignity to be free
Free to live with dignity

The children will inherit the land
Give it better into their hands
Not a dictatorship controlling their life digitally
But a reality of love, peace and dignity

 

Technological, they are going to call it advancements
But to me it’s more of a way to really just…
Technological, they are going to call it advancements
To me it’s more of a way to really just…
Technological, they are going to call it advancements
Revolutionized industry
To me it’s more of a way to really just…
Destroy whats left of humanity!

Like… instead of hey lets go meet at starbucks, lets go meet at a restaurant, lets go meet here and do this together
Physically face to face with each other
Physically face to face with each other
With each other
Instead its…
Hey, I’m jumping on meta
Meet me in the mcdonalds lobby inside meta
And lets just you know…
Fake talk to each other

That scares me that that is the route our world is going
Where everything is going into a digital thing
First it’s the money
Then it’s literally the rest of your entire life
It’s all going to be digital
And inside this virtual reality
Which to me you cant say virtual and reality in the same thing
Because it’s not real
Everything about it is absolute fake
Because it’s not real
Because it’s not real
Because it’s not real
Because it’s not real

Lord, have mercy!
