"Social Media"

By bpathos

For lack of attention
And lack of invention
They couldn't help it
Now we can't stop it
With mustered pretention
.

Living in the keyhole
The pretty lies are sold
Women of appetite eat
Cannibal spawn tweet
As our credits roll
.

Just out of light
In the shadow of right
Men counterfeit valor
Then duck and cower
Lacking a will to fight
.

Fast forward life time
Wonder past its prime
Cut and paste history
To create a mystery
Of victimless crime
.

Remember what to say
Regurgitate yesterday
We salted the earth
And lost its worth
We lost our way
.

Alone in the corner
The facts adorn her
Through rise and fall
Truth awaits us all
As we learn her cure
.

Folly laughing loud
The trashy and proud
Can't see it there
Behind the despair
Death with its crowd

I wonder if we will always have social media, or if it's a trend in history.

Well-said commentary and this fits nicely with "Children are their oppressors and women rule over them" said about the fall of Jerusalem as I recall. And they didn't even have smartphones yet BP! - Dan

We are proud, we are free, and we are falling. Nice to read something more social-political.
