Hope been fervent that technology be our servant

Of apps I’m apprehensive
which like most new technology
comes with drawbacks ostensive
while offers no apology

Since ages human hope had been fervent
naively over-optimistic
that technology would be our servant
but now we toil, slaves fatalistic

Inescapably in its fetters
robbed of last trace of defiance
now also as its hapless debtors
in small-print, rigged non-compliance

Until soon the final convolution
brings on humanity’s execution
