I am your future

So you are on my playground,
I turn you into a gear of war
I control the light and the sound
And you scream as I roar...
I am a paper wall, a bad company,
A cash machine and an AI without the I,
The iloveyou virus, a social network,
Less human than humanity itself.
I am a love hate relationship,
An edgy teen and a failed revolution,
A blue screen on a red room,
I am your future and I hate you all!!!

Try to revolt all you want,
You still use the tools I craft,
This world is my playground
You're playing using my rules...
I am a gacha game, a dating app,
The NSA scandal and the Epstein files,
I am a dark pattern, a targeted ad,
Less human than the first bots.
I am a fake smile on a blackrobe,
The internet troll and an error 404,
Blood of the rapist, flesh of the fascist,
I am your future and I hate you all!!!

Try to enjoy life all you want
Doomsday is just one step aheed
The cards told me the truth
It was written from the very start...
I am in the bible, in the coran,
In the bits and in your mind,
I am a beacon of light, a shadowbringer,
An angel under the lowest floor of hell.
I am the desert, an empty ocean,
A poisoned seaweed and the corpse of a shark
A bomb in the hands of a criminal...
I am your future and I hate you all!!!
