Is Internet Actually a Ploy to Better Control Our Minds?

Useful it is  
information we (they) receive.  
Recipes to better perceive--  
hooligans dancing in the wild  
pranks and riches  
catch-phrases, clickbaits, n' cats!  
All nicely wrapped and served to us  
with a hearty dose of blue-ray.  
 
Pornography to jade our mind  
days, nights and even in the afternoons!  
How much will it take?  
Our mental stamina,  
your bodies to neglect,  
families we forget,  
have you even eaten yet?  
 
 
24, 48, 72, all those hours on the grind--  
just wish there's no need for sleep.  
Weakening, lessening, our mental focality  
each day, it lessens,  
softening our nerves  
for the waves to then better penetrate.  
 
A rise, distortion, deprivation  
with these dark webnecessities.  
News and views, to skew and imbue,  
to better fit the puppeteer  
with electromagnetic strings.  
 
React  
this way or that, can you rationalize this?  
Was it the booze,  
or lack of snooze?  
 
It's the drugs...or maybe the lack of,  
late night partying,  
or that early morning shift we didn't get paid enough for.  
 
Throw your tensions at an old man's pension,  
 that girl's having an emotional breakdown.  
 
Anyways,  
 
I think I've been awake for too long.
