Here is my Spoken word video titled “Updated Problems” I hope you enjoy
Lyrics:
oh, news update
did you know that in about a year 2-3 iPhones will be released,
did you also know that almost 50,000 people will have died of overdoses?
you see the problem with this world is our tech is advanced.
but our ignorance has put us in a trance.
we think that if we can’t see a problem.
it doesn’t exist.
because while we are in the midst of a software update
Ethiopian children are feeling in the mist without enough food on their plate
You see people are suffering.
But we can’t see them.
We’re too caught up in what will happen tomorrow.
That we don’t notice what is happening today
It’s all, look at this new Artificial intelligence system.
Or “This videogame looks so realistic.”
We put so much emphasis on the advancement of technology.
And completely forget that there are people out there, struggling to keep a job down,
or working double shifts just to make ends meet
See, we used to use sunglasses to block out the sun.
But now we use AR glasses to block out the problems
Because our lives are hard enough, who has the time to help anyone but themselves?
Who has the time to fight global warming or help the homeless?
Who has the time to make the internet faster with fibre optic cables?
Oh,introducing the new Telus 8g lightspeed internet
Complete with the capability to beam knowledge straight to your brain faster than ever before.
Buy now
And what about the children growing up thinking bombing is the norm
And they deserve to suffer
And you want to whine about Netflix’s torturous buffer
I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is so much emphasis on advancement of technology
That we forget about the “last gen” issues
trust me i am a huge advocate for tech, (show some of my tech)
i just belive that we have preexisting issues that need to be addressed
before we focus on convenience
Come on world,
Do better
