What Do We Do

Commentary on Apocalypses what do we do
when we're making
smarter bombs than kids
born out of love we're making
reaching it's ecsatsy in hatred
what do we do
when even the so-called
progressives
foot soldier for corporations
what do we do
when the sun still comes up tomorrow
i'm begging it
to stay below the horizon
for a little while
peace and quiet
when people are sleeping
they can't hurt us
that's why i'll say, instead,
when an artificial intelligence take over
arrives
sun, rise
rise
rise
and then blow up and die
because, then
...these little quiet moments
will be gone
what do we do
when we're making
smart phones and smart homes
and more homeless
to get there
what do we do
when even the so-called
socialist
has technocracy's back
when the so-called
dreamer
just stares down at his phone
the so-called
intellectual
drool out lines for corporations
yes, what we do
when there's no where to turn
cause the working man's man
well, he believes in a billionaire, too
what do we do
when the sun still comes up tomorrow
i'm begging it
to stay below the horizon
for a little while
peace and quiet
when people are sleeping
they can't hurt us
in the day time
i hide in the forest

Prophetic. The past defines the present culminating in the now, lain upon the future. You see. That is rare.

I completely connected with your feelings of exasperation as greed and hate run rampant in our soul-crushing economic system. As you so eloquently expressed, it does make us beg for the sun to "stay below the horizon" so sleeping (or rather, recharging) humans "can't hurt us". I can't think of a better place to breathe and reboot than offline, in a forest.
Relatable and well expressed.
