Microsoft World
People are calling for help,
searching for what makes success.
That’s how bad this economy has become,
they’ve stopped managing our government
to demand management of our pockets.
People are desperate.
In that desperation they are crying for help.
But instead of help,
they are force fed a corporate-owned lifestyle
that drains their wallets and feeds their fears.
It’s in this time that we need our dignity the most
that it seems it is more easily lost.
We wonder more and more if we’ll ever get
to pursue our lives the way we always envisioned,
or if we’ll just forever be another corporate-owned device.
It’s hard on us all,
But worse on those who need the most.
It just keeps getting increasingly more grim for them
as Big Business promises saved time
and a surplus of money for the “less fortunate”
But it’s all a lie, one fabricated virtual reality.
People are leaving the jobs they love
for ones more “financially pleasing”.
But they’re losing themselves in the process,
becoming another mindless component in this elaborate program
Microsoft; Windows World.
This world is a book, your life is a page.
It’s up to you to decide what to write.
Some choose to stand for who they are
while others opt to conform to who others see.
In a world where the book is blank which will you choose to be?
Will you tell a story, and discover your own fate
or will you become just another software update?
