People watching people Gazing at screens Crouching behind veneers Of interconnected Digital Fibre optic Cabling Safely connected Safely disconnected To their Subjects Objects Judging them Demanding cosmesis Ordering alteration Controlling behaviours Controlling people In an out of control world The watched Conforming Naively Desperately Daily To gross Aesthetic stereotypes Pandering To the hits Prostituting For numbers Disordered society In which watchers Hold power Are you asked How many views do you have? Is it enough? Are you popular Enough? Are you worth Enough? Are you ever Enough?
