Everything seems normal, but I wonder why everything is so perfect? There must be something wrong. The people in this city are looking good and there is energy. But they are hiding something. For the looming threat of nuclear war that will see sweep over us all. The climate threat, the rise of neo-Nazism. There is a sinister secret about alms I must know. Why does everyone in this city spend their nights indoors.

For where is the passion for nightlife and stupidity to boot. It is all but gone. I am beyond bored. Now I am lonely. I wonder why there are no children.

I wonder why there are no generations of people taking aboard their parents’ business and way of life. Because it strikes to me there is no sex. It has completely disappeared from this community. The way of the future. Who wants children that will add to the carbon emissions and wars. Only to be bombed by a US made 2,000 lb explosive, sapped of water and left to evaporate into dust.

When every job has been taken by a robot and 2 thirds of the internet is robotic.

This is the way it is going to be. There is no replacement generation. This is the end of civilisation. There is no work and people progress slowly on benefits.

This is the future.

No sex no drugs and no rock music.

It’s all been done before and people are planning their demise. There is just war and corruption everywhere. Where once there was power now a robot replacement. An empire of robotic hate. There the people. As they lay they should be hating the AI not each other. Every one identifies with nothing and is too treated by drugs to have lust. For sex has gone.

Is it wrong though? It is the way of life.

Nothing is wrong when war and economic hardship is real.

For these people spend their days planning seeing friends. They don’t have children. They want nothing but adventure and fun. For the simple love of friendship is all they need. They don’t need children. They enjoy life without the constant commitment and jealousy. For it is sin. They don’t go to church. They eat pills. They have food in tubes. These people have no religion, Jedi is the new religion. The way of the future. When will the world ever realise that they need less people not more. For it is the problem we have all seen. For over time the billions of people died for the wars that they endured. It’s all not for good of something, but sacrifice to stop the spread of the germ and disease that is called humanity. It’s a wretched problem. The greed and insufferable problem is never going to get resolved. For so many people are without the basic things under capitalism. It delivers so little and requires people to compete for their own interests. In this new future it is a rate race and no one can appreciate love and beauty. The way we are in the world is a disaster that needs not be championed, but contained. The spread of the human condition is a threat to humanity itself. We will be honeyed and controlled by the AI threat, so long till we die. There is no valiant sacrifice for the good of the state, there is just a compatible end to life in this city where you are drugged to the brink of being, sweating in a 50 degree day planning your demise, ruled by AI not your obligation to keep your blood line running.
