Unplug to find peace
(Digt.)
A program has slowly been hacked on your computer
Your human nature has almost been deleted
You suddenly pierce your iron fist in your iPhone
You have compensated for your suffering with tech gear
Out of fear you obeyed voices you couldn’t hear
You are a human robot, evolved by software engineers
They welcomed you to a casino where time is cash
You can bet as much as you want but can never win it back
They pushed you to display your everyday adventures
They predicted every single move your mind made
Selling you goods you never needed
As are co-creator of an endless loop of loneliness
A business model built on existential nihilism
If this is the holy grail it is empty
Have your love affair with technology made you addicted?
If you look for peace it’s not online
Look up from your phone and wave to Elon’s pigeons
Forgive a devil and dance with a dragon
Program yourself to create a wonderful world
A bridge to peace can anyone reach
When the mind is unleashed
From the cage of invented identity
From dishonest likes without sympathy
From the illusion of happiness is consumption
From power as an excuse for corruption
From doctors in disguise taking lives
From never smiling to your loved one’s eyes
From yelling at a stranger
From hitting someone in anger
From entering politics as an entertainer
From unleashing nuclear danger
Life begins the day you are present
Unplug and calm your mind, servant
/Jesper Munk Jakobsen
