A digital war

A digital war

To-day we witness a digital age. Yesterday,
We dealt with its consequences. And to-morrow morning,
We will have to keep on fighting. But to-day,
To-day the digital age is inevitable. The future
Is scary with the views of global warming as our next door neighbour
And to-day we are in a digital age

This is the upper class of the digital age. And this
Is the lower class of digital age, whose very best
Friend is the greenhouse effect. And this is the actual devices,
Which have caused the entire global warming. The politicians
Don’t give a shit about the environment as is shown
By their non-existing actions and their silent gestures
Which some of the citizens in this digital age do have

Before we lose all hope, we do have a safety-catch
With the possibility of a revolution. And please do not
Stand in our way when we some day complete it. It is
Quite easy to summon enough strength and go against the flow
There will be obstacles on the way to a better future, but it only
Makes us stronger – it is not a real fight without a few challenges
All we have to do is stick together

This is the captain without which a revolution is not possible.
His purpose is to deal out the tasks to the ones who sign in.
Some might see him as a dictator controlling everyone, but
That would be twisting the real thing. And the good citizens
Are indeed following his orders and thus beginning the revolution
It’s called obeying, bitch!

They call it a beginning revolution: it is very easy
If you have the guts, just go with the flow: like the glue
And the citizens, and the gadgets and the point of no return,
Which in this case is possible to achieve; and the sound of the riots
Storming through the streets and the capitalists trying to oppose them
Well, fuck that – today, we revolutionize!

  1. Good idea to update the 'war' to 'digital' and 'revolution'. I had a hard time distinguishing the tone of the two voices from one another - they seemed too similar both in terms of how direct they were and where they spoke from politically. Could you separate them more clearly, perhaps?

  2. Some lines seem a bit misplaced, such as the "It's called obeying, bitch!" and "just go with the flow: like the glue". It is somewhat difficult to recognize Reed in there.
    However, I do like the global warming approach.
