Blinded by sweat
Blinded by the threat
Of obvious noise
From your Internet toys
It's gone beyond time to play
It's time to refocus words not images that stay
In your latest Instagram post
Be a word prophet toast, not a primevil tribal ghost
Let the words tell the story
Why the future is not gory
Time to take mental stock
Time to rework words that rock

Drop your social media, use words to change the world. All hail Amanda Gorman at the inauguration.
