Fair Trade

I’d gladly trade technology

For life before A.I.,

When brains and effort were the things

On which we did rely.

 

When human contact helped to solve

Our problems or our fears,

Without the witch hunts which today

Can sabotage careers.

 

When children got to play outside

And passwords weren’t used

And many things did not exist

That get me so confused.

 

When cars had keys and tv stations

Shut down for the night;

When even angry politicians

Fought a civil fight.

 

The world was never perfect then

But I was more content

When life felt simple and secure,

At least to some extent.
