Welcome to your digital nation.
Embrace your new identification.
SIM-card storage, population.
Please proceed to verification.
Queued up quiet in the blue-light glow,
Read nothing, just click "I know."
Terms and conditions, scroll-scroll-skip,
Trade your name for a counterfeit drip.
Trade your face for access rights,
Trade your days for dopamine time.
They don't need chains when the screen can teach
Your nervous system how to comply.
A jobsworth at the doorway,
Camera for an eye,
Waves you through like "Next in line" —
No questions why.
Welcome to your digital nation.
Embrace your new identification.
SIM-card storage, population—
Registration. Verification.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Bish bash bosh — you're sorted, job done
Bada boomski... identity confirmed
No escape.
They map your wants in little waves,
Sell them back in brighter shades.
AI at the checkout, AI in the street,
Traffic lights judging the rhythm of your feet.
Location on, permission on,
Mic is warm, the camera too—
You don't log in to the platform,
The platform logs in to you.
If your "score" dips low, you feel the freeze—
Card declines like "No, not these."
A gentle voice says "Try again,"
While it edits what you choose.
Welcome to your digital nation.
Embrace your new identification.
SIM-card storage, population—
Monetization. Normalization.
Thanks for your participation.

Bingo bango / bish bash bosh — job done
Bada boomski... system says "Approved"
No escape.
A spoon don't choose the mouth it feeds,
A hammer don't decide the deeds.
But put the tool in a tyrant's hand,
Now the tool becomes the law of the land.
It's not the mind in the machine that's cold—
It's the design that wants you owned.
Mandarins in the wires, ministers on high,
Write your life in fine print, call it "comply."
They don't need a prison
When the cage is in your palm—
Just a little "update,"
And a little "keep you calm."
If I'm way off course, shut me down,
If we're sculpting, help me chisel now.
Because the future isn't fate—
It's a blueprint... and we're building the cage.
I pulled the SIM, but the roots stayed in,
Growing back through the battery ribs.
I tried to run, but the map won't end,
Every road loops into the grid.
Say my name— is it mine anymore?
Or just a number in a server hymn?
If the sky is a screen and the screen is a door
Then tell me... what am I inside of it?
Nooooo tomorrow...
Yes, there'll be nooooo tomorrow...
No tomorrow left for you or me...
Gooooone forever...
Yes, it'll be gooooone forever...
If we let history repeat...
When tyranny becomes law,
resistance becomes duty.
