Analysis of What is the Future of Democracy?

What is the future of democracy
in a world where only demagogues rule?
What is the future of humanity
in a world where lies of moguls
to some seem cool?

Where double talk Orwellian
mesmerizes some — media included
into mock rebellion.
What is the future of democracy
where social media go astray?

Where legislators build no real trust—
perhaps look the other way;
where rhetoric becomes a mask,
harboring pernicious lies;
where privacy is public knowledge.

Alternative  truth as guise.
What is the future of our world
when freedom is held at bay;
where you and I, despite our will,
must live to find another day?

Trying to stop the steal of moral self
because of human greed;
of those with ultimate power,
hindering basic human need.
What is the future of our lives?

Where artificial intelligence
becomes the artifice platformed,
glamorized to whet our lust;
democracy in its wake deformed,
designed —  with algorithm.

That human minds conceive;
structured strategically,
schematically — pictorially;
with base intelligence…
ultimately — to deceive.

What is the future of a culture,
with an algorithmic shape;
podcasted with a propaganda,
that leaves us all agape?
What is the future of such democracy?

Where the medium
is indeed — the message;
where social media platforms hinder;
democracy whimpering — suffering…
to keep alive its vestige.
