Every day the elderly in advanced societies
rediscover how much increased medication
keeps them alive, the better to be dependent
on technologies that have advanced that far
that its users feel like worn out cyborgs,
where questioning the point of existence
is useless-nobody will meet our doubts.
Technology can do many things,
but it can't create a community
by itself, though it will serve well
the thoughtfully community minded.
Alas technology is fine for dividing
and binding the minds of the many
who feel perpetually mildly lost
and 'want something to be part of'
without it making them property.
