New Employment



Changing times to Development ages
Humanoid emotions poppin' up
Out of the blues emerge fake actors
Of reality and secondary agents of help

With the aid of mechanical house helps
Humming softly like bees in the broad daylight
Innocently rendering useless, our primary helpers
Impersonating lives; making us enjoy a glimpse of
Fake reality!

Our lives are embedded in the
New Employment of our technological age
Improvisations and Innovations
Impersonation and Incarceration
Failing successes!

Deadly friends, mediums of spreading evil
Neglecting helpers, snatchers of our independence
Job-easy makers, never long- lasting like humans
With an abnormal spark, it's lifeline is gone

I write in opposition to the New Employment of
Our age; Presenter of doom and useless existence
Depriver of our peaceful joy and livelihood
Snatcher if our goals and aspirations; Coming at us
A pleasurable doom!
