I bought a new phone today

First thing i did

Was unseal the box

Turn it on and wave to the camera

The man i bought the phone from

Appeared confused

No doubt a new screen to be watched by the man

Paranoia or truth

Subconscious or black mirror?

Planting ideas into my mind

That made sense

Long before they were televised and made digestible

Would they be looking for anything specific?

A weakness in my surroundings

Something to drag me down with?

I now posses

A new device the newest of its kind

With enhanced features that drew me

To make a purchase

Hey siri,

What’s the weather like today?

A simple question

To a device that’s always listening

Consuming more than just your average questions

I remember the days I would laugh at the brown plaster

On my moms webcam

And ask her why

Anyone would want to watch us?

But i grew older

Realising life is us living out

The blueprint of society

Crafted to watch us all fall

In the order of their perfect planning

And the ones that make it out

Are the ones who are clued up

Not just “woke” but “woke with understanding”

Shhh let’s not have this conversation

Infront of the phone

Because I can’t assure you

Noones listening.
