Ode to 2022 sans Freedom
Our digital culture is drowning in a sea of irrelevance …
A central storage of algorithms for imposed surveillance …
Mindless entertainment in a trivial culture of ‘bumblepuppy’ …
Distractions subtracting from inescapable exposures and fears
While Double Talk twists language to glorify untruths …
And Social Media eradicates individuality as subliminal Ego
To predict every mood and desire and cater to every whim …
While search engines uninform to bypass the rational mind
And condition to servitude and control media hierarchies;
Social programming stigmatizes differences and identity issues
To debilitate, threaten and limit how to finding our collective power …
Particularly, children are more suggestible to brand loyalty
Or a would-be dictator selling children’s books in self-adoration!
Where can we find our truths, freedoms, creativity and democracy?
Annemarie Berukoff
“Life of man is ultimately impossible without a considerable measure of individual freedom. Initiative and creativity — all these things that we value are impossible without a large measure of freedom.” Aldous Huxley
