We Used To Have A Life...... Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

We used to have a life,
where we were never seen.
No daily updates
upon a smart screen.

We used to use a phone
at the bottom of the street.
It looked like a time machine.
It was where some people would meet.

High Tech, AI,
what does it mean?
Are we continually watched
and monitored by everything
we put up on our smart screen.

When you go to the shops,
they can tell you have been there.
QR codes give away everything
that you will bare.

Now we must have antivirus and all the other blocks.
So no one can hack your system.
Isn't that a crock.

We must have Windows 10 and not use obsolete seven.
Some people have all the gadgets.
They think they are in heaven.

But I think this nonsense,
is ruining our lifes.
It is more dependence on systems,
That feic up your life.

Where people are walking around,
looking into their hands.
Missing natures beauty
and the wonderful lands.

Control, control, control
thats what they want to achieve.
We get over dependence on them
thats all we receive.

So take it from me,
It is time to go back to the past,
to that small little Nokia,
you thought years ago would last.

Buy an ordinary phone
without all those apps.
Enjoy nature and your family
and annoy the AI saps.
