TelstratedA Poem by Jayne DisdaineI hate this deal, you know,
The need to communicate... Telephones negate my desire to create, They infiltrate my focused state, They drill my brain like a shattered plate, I could not wait!- For the day I wouldn't need to play the game; Bluetooth connected to my ball and chain, Privacy, freedom, down the drain, I prayed for Telstra to go up in flames! I'd do the dance of joy as HQ burned Their bosses cheeks should burn with shame! CEO's names synonymous with greed A need unquenchable for financial gain Because like a whimpering pup we've been de-brained, Trained, advertising bullshit is now firmly ingrained. I don't want to talk to anyone, anymore, if I can't see their face, You'd think I'd rid myself of techno-control; purify my mental space Freedom so close, I can nearly taste - but wait. Disconnected!? What NOW? What if someone rings for a job? If the car breaks down I'll be walking How do I check my likes on the go? Who will remember me if I'm not talking? I'm in a panic, lost in the world alone; disgruntled if fet-life crazies aren't sleazily stalking It's quiet. Too quiet. I fold. I beg. I pay. I'm grateful for today Just to communicate. Telstra is f*****g great. © 2015 Jayne Disdaine |
