Techno distractions
stifles purposeful actions
creating dopamine addicts
who insist,
they cannot miss
a single instance,

that they cannot
disengage and face
a silent moment
with the human race.

Mental fog
flowing in
fast following
a fear of missing
by giving in
to the regeneration
of sleeping.

So, the population slows
their potential growth
and becomes a
herd of heavily
caffeinated, but sedated
children who evacuated
the star trek seat
of hopeful dreams
and scientific schemes.
