Futility

You wake up
It’s happened again
People get hurt
People get killed
Nothing ever changes

When it was first created
It was a primitive tool that was inefficient
Over decades of progress
It became automated and sleeker
What once took minutes to activate
Executes dozens of times per second

When it was first made
We chose to let anyone have it
People still cling to this century old claim
They ignore the rapid changes
And listen to the flow of money

You wake up
It’s happened again
People get hurt
People get killed
Nothing ever changes
