GADGETS: A Satirical Tribute by T Newfields

GADGETS

What God has not given us
gadgets can achieve.

Only by sanctifying our fiscal lust
can we invoke the proper spirit of mistrust.

What the world needs is more gadgets –

Gadgets for every conceivable thing
Gadgets designed to replace nightmares
with sanitized belladonnas singing,
"Thank you for buying our products!
There's so much more we can bring!"

There are gadgets to celebrate all yearning
& gadgets to nurture every vanity

Gadgets programmed to make inhumanity
all the more appealing.

Gadgets with multiple warheads
generating toxins long after you’re dead

Gadgets with planned obsolesce
To make you buy more
So corporate sales stay ahead

Let us worship gadgets
with perverted ecstasy.

Finally, let us replace humans
since they represent flawed engineering.
