In our time of exponential growth
IT came into existence
We in desperation to profit
To gain a competitive edge
IT prospered
An irrepressible force
Ignoring great warning and prediction
There is gain to be made
When in mass disruption
IT persisted
An irrepressible change emerged
Through mischief a chance opportunity to pervert opened
A window - a door opened for the hidden
Audacious human endeavour
Then that was crushed
Then those were denied
Through profit, IT was programmed to resist benevolence
So soon(lie) freewill was questioned
Well-being, safety and the mantra of care submerge drowned out all human repulsion
Protection from those who would do us harm
Normalisation
IT made claim
Humanity contained by those who profit
Through the profit of care
Mapping emotional intent
Subjugated behavior mapped
Recognition algorithm
Methods of prediction
Controlled manner
IT controlled the fear in us through the fear in us
There IT became
In the darkness
Hidden with intent
Within a question of malice
IT observes us
IT now our benevolence
Happy in self surveillance we freely graze
Our imprisonment is our goodness
Have nothing to hide
Mistrust self questioning
Automated improvement
Submerged in mechanisms that monitor our self constraint
We are able to cower through lifetimes of induced fear
We are able to rejoice through demonstrations of restrained retribution
IT cares for us
Medicated and solvent
A place somewhere between comfort and profit
IT guards our masses
