We get our news in headlines and trending quotes

Despotic Tyrants hack computers to sway our votes

Egomaniacs trump their worth from their ivory towers

Politicians line their pockets with money that is ours

Whilst the fat cat bankers and the Global Corporation

Ruin our economies and sell our personal information

 

It seems the Arab Spring has sprung and broken

And Twits and Tweets though loud and outspoken

Have failed to cast an illuminating light

On the refugees and their desperate plight

 

But we all did our bit, clicked and ticked and joined a group

That added our opinion and thoughts to the digital soup

So is technology backing a new wave of Cyber-Activation?

Is this really People Power… or just Human Corporatisation?
