Death by progress
Raised on instant gratification
rewarded for *******
spread out on our screens
society based on ratings
Like bad movie critics,
we send mixed signals to artists
confuse our creatives
and give pleasure to mediocracy
Weβre old souls
in new bodies with prosthetic limbs of plastic and glass
extensions of our memories and minds
weβve built a reliance on them
One day when the sky cracks in half
satellites will fall from space
we will all be crushed by
The fruits of our progress
killing us slow.
