Techno-Slavery

Keeping track of passwords
Is a never ending task;
It's a problem that seems common
To anyone you ask.

We have become dependent
On computers everywhere
And all that different software
Has made a total nightmare

Of sorting out the ways
In which we sign in to each thing
That was designed to make life better
And to which we now do cling

Because we have become dependent
On what these machines can do
And if it's on the Internet
We know it must be true.

So, we download even more app's
To our laptop or our phone
That are there to make life easier
In areas once unknown.

They each require another password
Used to sign in to such things
And get notifications
With various dings and rings.

We've become slaves to the addiction
That demands this signing in
And then every month or two
We must change the password again.

We're like a bunch of puppets
With our lives tied to these things
That have us dancing to the tune
As if on the end of strings.

When you stop and really think of it
Something has become quite true;
Although machines are made by us
They're now controlling you.
