S

Noise

Buzzing
Ringing
The shit never ends.
Peace is lost.
Apps be the thing.
Stealing our lives.
Privacy is gone.
Solitude has been lost.
The tick of eletronics the shit never ends.
Controlling every second that we live.
Interact?
What is that you speak of?
Wait let me check my screen for another update.
No don't play games it rots your brains.
Wait?
Doesn't that mean we are all rotting away?
Speak why?
I can text my way through.
Dinner or let me check my watch to see if my alarm has yet to ring.
Old school they call it dumb.
From dumb to numb which is better?
Avoiding the interaction touch what's that?
Oh touch my screen that's where love is don't you know?
I go to a app and create my man.
I dont date.
I just demand what I seek.
I expect it I don't earn it.
Trust what a waste.
Know a person that takes time.
From functional to dysfunctional look at that.
Isn't that funny?
Smart phones yet how dumb they make us.
