Testi

You are not broken
They just found a newer model
Discarded like a device
They no longer want to follow
You are not broken
They just found a newer model
Discarded like a device
They no longer want to follow
There is a man who gave them thirty years of mornings
Who learned their language, built their
Walls, and never asked for warnings
On a Tuesday, they called him into a room with no windows
And handed him a letter and a plant with yellow ribbons
Efficiency, they said, the algorithm chose the names
A younger, cheaper version runs the numbers just the same
He walked out past the desk he'd had since '93
And nobody looked up because efficiency is clean
We built a civilization on the logic of the shelf
Where everything has got an expiration, including self
The elderly are placed in rooms at the edge of the city
Where we visit on the holidays and call it being pretty
Good children who remember when there's something left to gain
But memory and wisdom do not scale and don't explain
Their value to a market that already found the hack
Of extracting what it needs and never giving anything back
You are not broken
They just found a newer model
Discarded like a device
They no longer want to follow
You are not broken
They just found a newer model
Discarded like a device
They no longer want to follow
We consume the ones who love us with the same casual hand
That scrolls past what is beautiful without trying to understand
Relationships have thumbnails now and metrics and a score
If the engagement drops enough, we quietly find the door
Friendship used to mean something that outlasted usefulness
Now we curate our circles for their status and their press
And the ones we knew as broken, who stayed inside the storm
Are the first ones that we quietly remove when we reform
The machine was always honest, it was built to discard
It never promised permanence, it never lowered its guard
But we took the logic of the market into how we see each other
And now we upgrade everything, including father, mother, lover
Nothing is allowed to age, nothing is allowed to slow
Everything must optimize or quietly have to go
We have become the product and the buyer and the shelf
And we discard each other the same way we discard ourselves
You are not broken
They just found a newer model
Discarded like a device
They no longer want to follow
You are not broken
They just found a newer model
Discarded like a device
They no longer want to follow
Not broken (Just old)
Not broken (Just slow)
Not broken (Just human)
