Tech Kunts
The idea that a computer program makes one more
creative is absurd
Creativity is either in the person or not
Tech is making us more distracted
Unable to create on a large scale like a Beethoven or
a Michelangelo
Because we clearly can’t locate the dance at the still
point of the universe
Apparently Silicon Valley is one of the major political
donors/lobbies now
& so all the tech giant transgressions &
hazards are overlooked by governments
& no one questions whether tech is operating in
the interests of humanity or not
This is prose not a poem
Though the line breaks are ordered like one
I just don’t find technology very interesting
Nor do I find writing about politics
I really think it is a fait accompli
I think Democracy is dead
Its illusions might make us feel better
But really it’s just pantomime
Corporations control the world
This is a well established fact
Governments are powerless against them
We are powerless against them
Our tech companies already know everything about us
We have no tricks up our sleeves
We’ve disclosed everything
We are monitored at all times
The streets are filled with cameras
As are the skies with camera drones
& algorithms divide us like never before
Still people get excited about
Left versus Right
As if either side is anything other than
A default player in a video game
