Fallout

   
you can probably    
remember it like days of antiquity    
somewhere seemingly now so distant    
in your own lifetime    
where life still made sense    
then it happened so suddenly     
right before our very eyes    
the treason against reason    
the art of conversation twisted into some    
abstract collage of utter madness    
the mass raping of intellect    
true wisdom sentenced to purgatory    
logic banished to dystopia    
as the guardians of social media    
opened wide the gates of sector Catch 22    
   
...    
   
and out burst the mentally undiagnosed    
the emotionally dysfunctional    
the woefully miseducated and    
the devoted acolytes of envy and wrath    
spreading anarchy like wildfire    
infecting the most basic interactions    
injecting weird verbiage into the daily lexicon    
spewing sanctimonious second hand feelings    
pouring toxicity upon even    
the simplest of topics    
   
...    
   
here in the land of the truly demented    
where ideologies lay cemented    
in the terrain of fractured minds that    
lingered about in obscurity    
until one day society decided to    
grant everyone a microphone a platform    
an audience and BOOM...    
   
   
it all went nuclear    
   
   
welcome to the age of the    
radioactive human    
hope you got    
your protective gear on
