Robbers (Art Poetry: Social media dehumanisation)

My easel, has been asleep

for a while, like a whale

on the lost deep seas

finding a prey

to victimise

to sate the belly full.

 

Your easel, sees in my eyes

the robbers on the blink

of an unruly end

finding recognition

in social media

to favor ego

to sate the belly full.

 

Your easel, is a mellow fine lens

Hands in line holding a gun

set a trigger, to silence the crowds

the doom in the public cruise

trollers and vipers with wipers

to sate the belly full

 

What have we come to dear friend?

we seek fame and lose our self

to the shadows of the masses

who denude our dignity

to gain their sanity

to sate the belly full

 

What have we come to dear friend?

in the spaces of the contours between

dehumanised by the social media

the medium of the century voice

the armageddon of currency

that sate to fill it's belly

Notes

The poem is an accompaniment to an art piece called "Robbers". The piece is a two composition hue, with shadowy effects of a teenager holding a gun. In the shadows and the in-betweens, the dark streak of social media dehumanisation strikes. The art piece 'robbers'  is the work of "Joshua Ingram" aka Ezra Warhol. Thanks for inspiring me artistically, I am swapping walls for the canvas. Your artistic hand is beautiful and ethereal dear poet, musician and painter friend.
