It was truly my pleasure, dear host, I'm honored for the opportunity.

My world has become full of incessant
rides over the speed limit to local shows and filling my "camera roll" up with at least ten of the exact same photo every time I ask a stranger to take a picture of me;

and the rides there are always fun
but the boys there aren't
and everyone acts self important
wearing black hoodies with band t shirts over top
while rocking jokes about suicide and 90's shows we were barely old enough to remember.
yes that's us, the pretentious part of my generation
and I think we all know how sickening we are
at least I can tell when I look at her new twitter profile photo
and think of changing my own
so yes that's us, the social media generation.

Vinyls are back in style and so is thrift shopping for clothes
and even though girls that wear Victoria secret Pink will make fun of it
I still see them like the Instagram photos

Yes, that's us, the pretentious part of my generation
the social media generation
the generation that promotes any thing we substantially find on the internet
for human rights whether it's true or not
And you gotta love how informed we try to be now a days
I've never been so political in my life
I've never been so involved in my life-

But I sometimes wonder if everyone really getting it
if I'm really getting it;

Dry rides home past curfew
almost getting in accidents and talking about our world philosophy's;
those moments with you,
without the suffocation of our snap chat stories
and dissatisfaction of Instagram editing,
i feel like we are real again
and I love that
and I miss that

and yes,
we are a pretentious generation
yes,
we are the social media generation,

but we are still just like you were-
trying to find our place in the world,
trying to live a little

Do you tweet
Do you twitter
Or is that just for angry birds

Are you constrained
Are you imprisoned
Is there a limit on your words

Do you follow famous people
In the hope that they’ll reply
Then they tweet something stupid
And you wish that they’d just die

Do you Snapchat
Do you Facebook
Have you got a million friends

On your I-Phone
On your tablet
Follow all the latest trends

Do you talk
Do you chatter
Do you socialise for real

Do you need
To hold a gadget
To know how you really feel

Tilt

Where will you virtually go today?
 To the ends of the earth where all will follow?
   To where the world will fall in love again
     With images of your beauty they will swallow
       And it’s here when you must comprehend
   That passion sometimes goes unrequited
 After all the watchers maybe watching
Diligently from a distance uninvited
 And in the inquisitive visages of vanity
   Catering to your every secret and need
     You provide the info they always wanted
       Undaunted and unknowingly you concede
     Narcissus and Echo would be astounded
   With what the world has become today
 For in the portraits you reveal a bit more
Of your naked soul for all in full display
 And then you hear someone is watching
   Studying and unsettling your peace of mind
     Regardless of where you go in cyber space
       Someone picks up the crumbs you left behind
     And so they shadow you, analyzing you
   To the point they understand you better
 Crafting the perfect lust for your heart
Making your appetite that much whetted
 Then you go back right into that blissful cycle
   Creating dreams for others to come and stay
     All dwelling amongst nuances and innuendoes
       While they observe you close but from far away
     Yet you’ve always had that effect on people
   And now the world wants an intimate look
 Contrary to your belief of your privacy
Once lied to then you’re on the hook
 Are you savvy to the underlying status quo?
   And drawn in by the influences of the day
     Or will you eventually evolve to an iconoclast
      Awake and aware to keep the wolves at bay
        Look at the fundamentals from another angle
         And with a new perspective you should dredge
           Discovering the reality with complete perception
And the truth will send you over the edge

Dexting

Friday  
9:45 pm
my apartment

So, I swype,
wat r u wearin?

send button pressed

I roll my eyes
and turn on the HDTV
thinking that it used to be
that you had to get a girl drunk first
in order to get her into bed
now it's all about social media,
online dating and texting
and hoping that your drunken (text) words
will render her fingers under the influence
to have sext with you

Ugh!
What is this fucking world coming too?

My cell beeps

Nuthin;), she swypes back

I turn off the TV,
unzip my jeans
in hopes
that tonight's dexting
will at least gain me
a naked selfie of her
