Fishing for Souls.



Put down the phone,
No more time to moan
Inactivity, decaying society,
Precious times ignored,
Can brains be restored?

Put down the phone,
No more time to moan
Idiocracy is a documentary
Wifis frying brain cells
This is your minds penetentiary

Put down the phone,
No more time to moan
Lift some weights,
Fellow internet inmates
Put down the phones.

About this poem

What has happened to humanity. Technology. The names of these things should give it all away, web, net, tell.lie.vision, program, channel, its all hidden in plain sight. Now mothers ignore their children to play mindless games, evil flourishes while good men are busy distracted by all these devices. We cant get the time back, life once so precious is now meaningless, wasted and forgotten spent in front of a blue glow.
