Poetry Contest

People who disregard a life for internet fame.
Seems like a lot of people disregard a human life just for some views on internet now...
(videotaping a person's death taking photos of a car accident...not for "evidence" just to show it off like some badge)

Been thinking about it a lot, would love to here some poetry on it.. your thoughts?

no word limit one poem per person
I would prefer new entries.
on poem per person.

Thank you.

We are animals
In a circus
Playing with forces we don't understand
Uncaring as we are fine
Happy
And when our lives are so dull
From our ease and happiness
Bloodshed is welcome
A reminder of the wild

We are gods
Playing with forces we created
Uncaring about mortals below
Of course the world is game to us
It was created for our own amusement

The truth is, we are bored
The fight bred out of us
In giant supermarkets and electrical boxes
Oushing  ourselves further
Desensetizing our minds
Until we lose our humanity

The sun is suffocating
in a sea of melancholy
Greying skies full of lies
Exploit the notion of living


The moon is choking
in a mist of absurdity
Darkening clouds scream out loud
A voice of the wretched

The ocean is drowning
as waters are clouding
Stagnation and gestation
Of vomitous human bile

The world is decaying
dying and degrading
A sickening stench covers every inch
Quickened by the virus of humans

SNUFF

be entirely less concerned with the people posting these things
and more focused on whose looking them up

you ask "been thinking about it a lot"

try all the time
...

there is an organization of people
selling murder like porn

suits killing poor saps
so other poor saps can whack off

it's called snuff

and it's fucking scary
...

the internet only makes these things
all the easier.

p.s.
some people actually kill to get famous
think about that.

Thank you laceyspacey

also: I do think about that it just seems like much more people pull out their phones and just take pictures of dead people or people dying, in a sort of "casual" way? Probably not the best way to describe it... I just find the whole "norm" around doing that action scary, The people that watch it are considered fucked up, the people who kill for fame are hated, The person who actually took the picture and uploaded it, well that's just it the end. That our little righteous society has something like that be considered "acceptable" frightens me more than some selfish murderer or someone that gets off on watching it...That is just my opinion though.

why-carry-us?


I like to watch things die
it's a natural thing, it's mine
when it's in front of me, it's my show
who would even think of sharing something so cool?
to find this cool is not wrong
to find it awesome is not wrong either
to pimp this as if it were a joke, that is unforgivable
so the next time you take an image of death maybe you'd die
if I had the power I'd make it so
and the next time somebody gets murdered and you're standing there
with a camera I hope the attacker sees you and after he sees you
he videotapes you while he kills you and posts it up on your youtube page
oh the irony would kill me

but internet fame isn't all about death now is it?
lies, fraud and even identity theft come into play
witness your very own internet neighborhood turn into a cesspool
sex, pets and bullshit... the new currency of the firewire
click on my ad, click on this link, click on my dink and make it go twink!!
that's whats important, the money
all vices are born of one thing
bet they didn't know half the words I used in this poem until
they google'd them
recognition demands admiration
if not admiration then extortion, annoyance, hate, and other forms of trouble.
apparently being wrong is damnable by degradation,
which is in turn damnable by internet death
the ones that lack real lives feed off the world online
it's not so different when you break it down
it is deplorable I wouldn't mind adding
I still don't know how to deal with such situations apart from
banning/blocking/ip trace/reporting etc
but it would be the same if such people met me in real life
punching/kicking/bloodletting/bone breaking/negligent homicide/
unseen burial/decapitation/castration etc
I hate normal people as it is... I hate such fools even more.
