with milky glass screens
Watch them all from a distance
Don’t lose your gaze, your concentration
Take a pill or two and keep watching

The gluttonous hordes
devour us and spit us up
Seas of neon and decadence
Platinum blonde wigs
Ashes in my mouth
An empty room with nothing but
a surplus of uncomfortable plastic chairs
Silicone nothingness

Notice me! Screams the girl
drunken nights, almost naked
Notice me! Screams the wife
rich husband, bulimic mess
Buy Buy Buy! Scream all
Throw it out and get some more

Get a belly button ring
to adorn that sagging gut
Celebrate! Celebrate!
For life is what we make it

It really shouldn’t be.

Superb. I feel the same way and that is why I don/'/t actively do Social Media...... The world is full of enough drama as it is. Loved this!

Got to agree with James/'/s comment here, as well Bey/'/s on the last line.

I guess it/'/s a lot like "Rick and Morty" either let your self be swept in distraction, accept what is, or focus on what you decide life to be, but that last one/'/s pretty hard. Lol

You use words as though they come from the end of a brush to a canvas. Art created. Cynical it is, and why not?
Special as always, and I/'/m gonna spend time away from plastic this summer, with my face down there in the grass!

/'/Notice me! Screams the young girl
drunken nights almost naked./'/
That/'/s one of the saddest images of modern society.
