Electro-neurotic ill-timed division,
Building factories to lose revenue;
Brave new race, tech-domination.
Swipe left for nuclear status
and right for privacy rights.

Semi-conductor pirates pay cost.
Convenience is the culprit
For all the damning evidence.
Crumbs of life; a paper trail
Digitized from strife.

He never knew what plagued him
Until it stole the right to speak.

Where did smart manufacturing go?
An outsourced land, a galaxy of
Fallen dominoes.

Trial by error, the new world awaits,

No cutting ribbon at the digi-gates.

Can’t staff with legal anymore,
Lady justice slain across the floor;

In confidentially, she’s classified-
You’re privileged now forever-more.

Sly and chill yet crowned a tyrant-
The status quote pushes back.
Lasso the masses for compliance,
The audit always reveals the trash.

Release me from the whiteout;
Don’t plagiarize my content-
Don’t quote me lest you have to-
Is human submission God-sent?

Rise above machines is quack;
Fourth Industrial Revolution attack.
