A life of paranoia and fear

Paranoid by what you read

As fear resonates from your screen,

On your TV and mobile phone

There’s no escape, you feel so alone,

All the drama, horror and death

Dragging you down into the depths

Of despair and of latent terror,

Is there any hope you cry out there

And why has mankind made such errors,

To take the wrong road from love and caring

Towards corpses sitting idle and staring,

Wide eyed on battlefields and in their homes

Within our societies we lack any safe zones,

And the government doesn’t actually care

Because it paralyses you more so you don’t dare,

Give them a reason to not protect you

Even though it’s them who leave you exposed,

To all the terror and the stress and fear

Because it keeps you quiet and in your place,

And so distracted by what they are doing

Like acting so corrupt that you don’t see

That they’re striving to leave our lives in ruin.

  1. I feel this. I have really stripped my life of all which is distressing or negative. I no longer watch the news. I don’t do ‘ social media ‘ , I stay away from any political conversations and live in a bubble. I am much happier!

  2. These words reflect undeniable truths about all who engage with smartphones and online technology. Gates has been instrumental in the development of C++. He is indeed a genius. Many have questioned our relentless drive; the answer is clear: public demand. The emergence of new technology was thrilling, and the desire for larger devices was undeniable—profits certainly played a role.

    Looking back, we recognise our profound impact on people’s lives. We inadvertently contributed to the rise of crime, as tools became readily available in stores and in our hands. This is a reality we must confront. Gates acknowledges this, too. He has taken steps to atone for the consequences of our actions, recently retiring and donating billions to support the human rights movement.

    To the author of this powerful message, I salute you. Thank you for raising your voice and advocating for change. Let’s continue to share impactful yet straightforward words that resonate with both the young and the old, ultimately making a difference for future generations. Amen.
