Raw Wild Poet: 2023

'Lacey'

There was once a girl named Lacey,

who signed up for Track and Trace me.

And Social Credit Scores galore,

to the state she would state 'Just Take Me'.

Lacey was a People Pleaser,

and a Government believer.

She played her role and Sold her Soul,

to the Technocratic Leaders.

She tiptoed up the ladder,

in a polite and careful manner.

Until one day, she had her say,

in a way that Did Not Flatter.

Lacey faced some kinda trouble,

her 'naughty' points were doubled.

She finally learnt that society weren't,

what she thought & her thoughts were all muddled.

Lacey had learnt some Hard Lessons,

and her Bubble was Burst in one second.

But the True question remains, would YOU do the same,

in her shoes, tell me, wadaya reckon?

* To learn about the social credit system being imposed on us,

(in story form) watch 'Lacey' in 'Nosedive', Black Mirror, Season 3, Episode 1,

and JUST SAY NO!!
