I feel concerned for my country.

For some reason my government's more concerned with censoring me than serving me.

All the neighbourhoods have changed and I think I’ll be renting forever.

I wonder what it would be like to own a home with no mortgage…

Those tax cuts came in, but they were quickly eaten up by inflation.

I keep getting told that inflation is caused by greedy businesses, but I’m old enough to remember when they doubled the money supply during COVID.

And I have a brain so I don’t fall for their obfuscations.

They used to say the internet would make us free.

But each day there’s more devices tracking me.

And every transaction gets poured over by my bank.

They froze my account when I bought bitcoin.

They said it was to stop scams, but I think it’s because they’re afraid of money they don’t control.

And people who aren’t controlled by their money.

I feel concerned that the future will be worse than the past.

What world will our kids grow up to?

Barcoded, censored, fed fake food until their heart fails.

The funny thing is we pay tax to overlords, funding their control over us.

I wonder what would happen if we all pushed back?
