Everyday we get more dependant Reducing our span of attention Rendering us less independant Diminishing our skill of retention. Like this, like that Me.. Me.. meme.. Me View this, watch that We’re all on TV! Obsession regression Responsibilities admonished Overuse of powerful words No one truly is astonished. You ate a meal, well good for you! You’ve cash for food and phone, Take a photo, tell the world What right have you to moan? Attention seek, “Just don’t ask!” Think I’m falling for that? Like me! Like me! Desperate sad Pleas that all fall flat. Tech to make things simpler still Swipe left, swipe right, unfollow. Offence is taken in a keystroke Fake friendship - promises hollow Scan the code to know it all Constant information, Screenshot, bookmarks, save for later, Constant life narration. We’re overwhelmed to know it all To friend each glancing stranger, This hunger for what seems progression Is clear and present danger.
