These social ranking systems
Held privately in shaky hands
Leak user-made propaganda
Into virgin minds and souls
In an era of mass hypnosis
Self source witty p.c. puns
Despite the clicker within
Zapping jingoistic imagery
Lurking deep inside your gut
Primed by abysmal noise
Live-streamed revolutions
And other armed tentacles
Highly targeted, multifarious
Built on variable geometry
And obliterated freedoms
Like the act of labelling truth
Gauging deterministic levels
Bucks untruth dominating us
Allows untrusting ourselves
It’s pitch black, we retreat
Cautiously deserted rearguard
So overtly over-defended
And bond some with tech
Frame our life in screens.
