Pixel

Living in a pixel of what it’s all about

Living in a 6 inch screen
What does it all mean

Makes you want  to scream
From the top of trees

I don’t believe what I’m seeing
But it’s life today in the social swamp

Layer on some put downs
Tell her she’s too fat
Or he’s to autistic to be acoustic

Scream of silence
Lives on through me and those I love

Next day rinse repeat darkness

Your not good enough
Or pretty enough or fit enough
Or cool enough or what the fuck

Who am I to bow down to the masses
I’m a baddass with some warts

Fuck you and your condescending attitude
Electric light on pixels

Bow down to your new Jesus
I’m rage against the machine
Fuck you and your artificial intelligence

I’m claiming back my kids
Rip away from tablets and devices
Going out front shoot some basketball
