Buffering Soul

Your payment could not be processed.

Neither could my childhood.

I opened up the monthly bill And suddenly I felt real ill

A hundred bucks to watch a wheel Spin while nothing ever loads

I unplugged it, plugged it twice Whispered prayers and gave advice The

router blinked like Jesus Christ Then left me buffering alone

They said that freedom isn’t free

Apparently neither is 5G

My Wi-Fi costs more than my soul I’m paying monthly just to

scroll I sold my dreams,

I pawned control But at least the signal’s full My bank account

is in a hole My password’s “please don’t cancel,

bro” My Wi-Fi costs more than my soul And somehow it’s still

slow (hahaha)

I’ve got twelve streaming subscriptions

Three of them escaped description

Canceling requires permission

From a wizard underground Every app says,

“Upgrade now”

I don’t know what I’m buying,

how I own no home,

I own no cow

But all my data’s in the cloud

The modem said, “Believe in me”

Then died at 12:03

I called support, they transferred me

To someone born in 2083

My Wi-Fi costs more than my soul

I’m paying rent to lose control

The world is ending—LOL

Can somebody

reset the

whole thing?

Connected.

No internet.
