Digital Addiction  

The constant rattling
is like cancer consuming me
but, I'm battling.
All this phony sympathy
really isn't flattering.
Only thing accomplished  
is adding to the saddening.
Say things as they are
distorted truths are maddening.
Twisted webs made of lies
consistently in need of tending.
A fallacy brought to life
is a fiction never ending.
All honesty is eroded away
in deceptions constant undulation.
So many guilty of
social media's deprivation.  
Living in a cell.
Phones making masses complacent.
Churning out automatons
slaves to electronic interfaces.
Regardless of it's name
the outcome the same  
from twitter, myspace,
or that book of face.
It's all just another place
for the multitude
to plead their case.
Voltaic displays of verbal waste
think then speak
has become copy and paste.
The art of dialog
has fallen from grace
a detriment to the advancement
of the entire human race.
Collections of good intentions
broken and erased.
Words once spoke
diminished to a click, like or poke.
An outlet for some
which they use to cope.
Destruction for others at the end of a rope.
It's magic a void
just mirrors and smoke.
Devoid of emotion
a false sense of hope.
Read what I write
for you'll not hear what I spoke
since your ability to communicate
has been utterly broke
and you can't stop now
because your addicted like coke.
I implore you to explore
for the world around you is vast.
Do really want that little box
to be your all, only, and last?
