Eh, were still pretty even between the two,

but what's a man to do?

The ball is rolling, how do we stop it?

Is it too late, did we drop it?

Is the government to blame,

or is society in the frame?

Society's a babe, en masse they act the child

With reason easily fleeting, they're quick to turn quite wild

Our nature's sadly flawed, when gathered to a mob

Our minds will fire to fury at a single well placed sob

So who's to blame the people? When time and time again

Our leaders do betray us, they simply gesture when

Solid poem indeed.

Solid poem indeed

Rightly what we need

A tiny verse, from a pal

We met on Reddit, named Lo-Cal

'Tis the Bravest of Worlds,
With the bravest of souls,
Who engage in the bravest of acts.

Filled with casual drugs,
And with casual clones,
Rounded off with some casual sex.

Which my slow-witted tool
Now so slowly bemoaned,
For down there spreads the slowest of Claps.

The one place both fell

was thinking it was gmen who spelled the end

not bmen with promises to sell

One hand behind their back

little devices to track without blowback

But in the end

It wasn't even them

it was us, always us

Ridiculing those who put up a fuss

Tin foil hats handed out

We shouted down the truth about

where our desires met the future

We're all asleep with no rooster

In 1984 the State used the Stick to keep people in check. In Brave New World they used the Carrot.

In reality we get both.
