Is this 1984

Each pay flows quicker than liquid mercury,
Removed from accounts with electronic surgery,
Payments for toil that instantly disappear,
And it’s becoming worse everywhere year by year,
The world is more broken than ever before,
It’s like we are living through Orwell’s 1984,
How can we possibly hope to retire?
The future seems dark and the finances dire,
When the basics are getting so hard to acquire,
We are just banknotes burning on life’s funeral pyre.
