Why do we hide
Behind screens and devices
Confronting our problems
Like drones upon Isis
Dumping our waste
In a news-feeding sea
Then digging up dirt
On our best frenemy
Swipe right for love
If you tryna' hit
As you kindle the flame
And then hashtag it lit
Processing feelings
Like androids alone
Despite the reception
From every iPhone
So disconnected
Though closer than ever
To google chrome answers
All searching together
On profile pictures
You can judge a book
When the moral of this one
Is how do I look
Unfiltered facades
Of half-life expression
Selfie-absorbed
Anti-social obsession
Objective dimension
Of pretense inanimates'
Unblocked accounts
Of inactive inhabitants
Dwelling in shallows
Of in-depth distractions
Profiting off of
The Twitter war factions
Stop buying shares
Of the media Marxist
Still selling your souls
