First to arrive were the cameras
Installed to protect both you and me
In places where we weren't that threatened
And yet the people didn't see

What followed were traffic restrictions
To keep the roads quiet and clean
The maths didn't add up, or the science
But still the people didn't see

Next came the 15 minute neighbourhoods
Make our lives easier, decreed
To some, it seemed like restrictions
But still the people didn't see

Then came the Digital ID
So convenient, easy and free!
Your life in one chip on a mainframe
And still the people didn't see

The cars they sold were electric
All wired to the government PC
They switched off the driving on Sundays
Yet still the people didn't see

The banks moved their money to digital
The government banned cash the next week
The ability to fly was restricted
Yet still the people didn't see

They linked up your money and profile
To the ID on the government PC
Connected it to social media
Yet still the people didn't see

Then came a new cure, a new virus
Safe and Effective, and free
They linked these j&bs to your profile
And connected the government PC

When the people were locked up in cities
Policed by their digital ID
Unable to visit their loved ones
Now finally the people can see

Restricted and tracked with no money,
To go further a permit you'll need
Contained in your digital city
Oh why did the people not see?!

These steps they sold us a progress
Never looked to be quite what they seemed
If you don't ask the questions and protest
Then your children will never know FREE

Glad to see you are awake- far too many people have their heads up their behinds.

Beware of the Lizard people.

especially those in turquoise tracksuits

Sums up modern day society perfectly, I am a dinosaur lol I don’t use Facebook etc, if I want to see or talk to people I do that in person (some may groan lol) I do have a debit card but use cash, I only do internet banking for my Aussie Account, I will at a push “do” telephone banking if I need to, I always ask for paper when renewing my insurance etc and never give my email address unless my life depends on it as I go by the “if I want you to have it then I will offer my details” and that includes my mobile etc. I am not being paranoid I have nothing to hide but my goodness how life “use to be” is becoming harder.

DeadVim. I've only just now noticed your little piece of doggerel. Wonderful stuff, and worthy of much, much, more respect than it got. This post of mine will at least push it to the top of the page for a while, so that others can read it!

Where did you find it?

It's shared on social media by those who frequent misinformation and conspiracy websites like Breitbart, infowars and so on.
Essentially Trump supporters who want to see Biden impeached.

Just google a line or two, look at the results and see what its supporters are also supporting.

Why are people down on 15 minute cities? Sounds great to me. I'd love a few more facilities nearer to me.

I have just re read the above and it is actually happening, most of the banks in the town near to where I live have closed bar one, we have two cash machines one of which is at the local Tesco and is usually “out of order “ I have just nipped into Starbucks and they only take card not cash (3rd shop this week that has happened) and just heard on my car radio news channel that in Wales any roads ( I think that is correct) that were 30 will now by 20 by September 2023 and no new roads will be built…..madness we will be heading to the dark ages in the future….

What you are describing is change which is sometimes pointless, sometimes inconvenient but with good reason. A reduction in a speed limit for example is where it is shown the higher speed is dangerous. On line banking means we can still get free banking.

What the "work" in the OP is describing is some conspiracy nonsense about everyone being controlled. That's why it's shared on social media by followers of conspiracy theories.

Much prefer love is the answer, and third world man.
