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.

It's good to stay skeptical, as you dream of a better tomorrow.
Good night, and good luck.

Too much of a good thing syndrome. It can only be combatted by self discipline.
Excellent creativity forming this poem, it read very smoothly and you kept a stark subject quite poetic.

Thanks,
I appreciate your praise!
"Combatted by self discipline"
What a great phrase!
You have such a great soldier mentality.
I do agree to a degree though,
I guess this world is also a battlefield...

One of the best poems I've read all year. I've nominated you for poem of the month, I hope you win. You read my mind with this one choco..
Wow dragon!
I'm humbled that you think such great things of my late night attempt at poetry...
I hope I do win a competition one day though,
that'd be so cool!
I'm glad we can relate to a same plane of mind.
That is also cool!

The Internet robs one's mind to think for itself. It has no character or personality. It dumbs down our children and kidnaps one's soul. Unfortunately, everything that is designed by humans is geared to make money. This also applies to the smartphone that will soon become AI's best friend.
11th Jan 2024 4:55pm
Yes, the internet doesn't...
but we the users sure do... as well as the ones making money (whoever they may be).
I wonder how the ultimate humanity will become once all our money is gone and become so dumb.
Zombies? Or robots with ai implants to think for us!
Haha!

Excellent piece of....excuse me, got to check my facebook page,,,, writing.
i agree..sorry, breaking news alert on X. they've discovered another tunnel!! Damn it! I've been digging that tunnel into Greggs for a year now! ..with all your poetic points. Oops! Instagram calling.
Wow! Yahoo reports Megan Markle likes to wear socks!
I am not affected by the internet in any way, shape or form.
Although someone did whisper to me that they are watching everything you do. Even when the internet is switched off?
Enjoyed your piece.

Actually,
Yea!
I think read it in the terms of service somewhere for third party sales purposes... you know... the one that also said after your death they are entitled to your soul and sell your body parts for sale..?
Hm...
Maybe I read it wrong.
Haha!
I appreciate your comment!

This is night music for the age of robots. You capture the dark alleys of the net that captivate us into submission to algorithms. There is a web of technocrats trying to capture us in our dreams. And who knows what will happen to democracy and freedom once AI has had its way with our minds? You ponder profound questions with poetry that sings like an android hiding in the basement of this cybernetic complex. Hopefully, we will wake up in time. Love what you do with words in this strange land of the internet.

Hmm,
Never thought of that.
But interesting nevertheless.
I guess that would make sense as I am a product of the current media centry.
But I do find alot of my musings from musical lyrics, although most are not rap, but I guess alot of lyrics with rhymes would seem so.
Anyways, apologies for the rant.
Thanks for your input!!!
