Why do we all prefer to stare
At a 42 inch flat screen glare
Manipulating our thoughts
Stealing our mind
Subliminally corrupting
The whole of mankind

Checking our phones
100 times a day
Leading our consciousness
Miles astray
Technology's surpassing
Our human interaction
Perfectly designed
To cause a distraction

Can we not see
We're being restricted
Gradually all
Becoming addicted
We need to slow down
Or we'll all be convicted
Of being exactly
What Einstein predicted
