The Veldt Summative Assignment
The Card Game
Did you hear about the new product?
Yeah, the one that’s being sold at Walmart.
It’s astounding, amazing, appealing,
Only 9.99, made especially for children.
If you’re busy, need time,
Here’s an app, let them go tap
Give them another application,
While you go away on a vacation
Soccer? Basketball? Swimming?
No, just scrolling and sitting.
The human race is like a crazy card game,
And we’re all just aces and spades.
Played by the same card holder,
Corporations, and stock brokers.
Where society is the queen
Like a crazy machine
Manufacturing all the screens.
That we now live our life on.
But let me tell you something.
“Technology is our life now.” We all said.
But it’s not a life,
if we’re all brain dead.
