#Poetry #Poem<\/p>\n

DOMINATED!<\/p>\n

Now some people often warn us,
\nThat we will soon be dominated,
\nOur technology is taking over,
\nAnd to slaves we\u2019ll be relegated.<\/p>\n

But, friends, it is time to wake up,
\nBecause that day is already here,
\nEven right now we are witnessing,
\nWhat those wise thinkers did fear.<\/p>\n

Yes, so many decisions are made,
\nBy smart AI, algorithms and bots,
\nWithout real human intervention,
\nIt is all just mechanical thoughts.<\/p>\n

But if you should doubt my word,
\nSocial networks offer clear proof,
\nUnjustifiable decisions they make,
\nCause one to go through the roof.<\/p>\n

Discrimination and censorship,
\nBy tech which doesn\u2019t understand,
\nThe situation is now unbearable,
\nIt has really gotten so out of hand.<\/p>\n

But trying to appeal their decision,
\nIs a worthless effort made in vain,
\nFor such tech is governed by rules,
\nAnd there\u2019s very little you will gain.<\/p>\n

There is no fighting the machine,
\nOn quite fallible logic they depend,
\nMercy and fairness they don\u2019t know,
\nYou will be disappointed in the end.<\/p>\n

Shadow banned or even suspended,
\nQuite often will probably be your fate,
\nAnd so tell me, is it really any wonder,
\nHigh tech some have grown to hate?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
