X-Land
Rubberized souls with polyester fans
blare out trash
& bark market demands
as sweet drones diet on disease
& millions die in poverty
Profit is the name of the game
& as politics turns ballistic
greed becomes the path to power
& absurdity a road to fame
"Bringing you a better tomorrow!"
a 3-D compuscreen proclaims
"Liar!"
I yell back
clinking a button
as that memory is erased
At the same time
the Cyber-Police
receive a new directive –
modify anomaly #526-0509-3766:
me
