There was so much happening it became frightening
life was never easy but we coped
money tight bills always a headache to regularly pay
there were never ending hostilities
the news became much less uplifting stories bleak
in twenty seventeen got to a peak!
Reportedly down to terrorists or an unknown cause
bombs knives and gun attacks
even vehicles used to maim and kill a major fire to
the people becoming fraught
confused and out of control people became divided
less support to the masses provided!
Like an open sore the rich became a source of anger
as they could afford anything
owning large properties as the rest were priced out
jobs were going as robotics
replaced them in the work place and food sparse
an equal society was truly a farce!
The once rare sight of armed police became normal
soldiers to increased unabated
restricted access to the internet and social media
the news on television and radio
words became more phony as the same news shared
for a real nineteen eighty-four were prepared!
From the light mankind was plunged into the dark matrix!
