ABSORB THE KNOWLEDGE ... NOT THE OBSESSION

Battles today are fought with 

       drama filled status updates

  brought to you by the intolerance 

society openly praises

Hateful words embedded into 

a screen now re-constructed

  in the low self-esteems we hand out on the daily.

How useful are those browsers 

that capitalize on our need to know "what's trending" 

in a world obsessed with what's popular

A virtual world where boyfriends are designed, 

egos are inflated and connections are made a million miles away 

by real, or not so real people.

Technology can be the most useful 

yet damaging tool we create

  absorb the knowledge and not the obsession

Experience the ability to share who you are

  by a concept so easy as: click, post, share.

Exhausted are the buttons that 

so easily share your life

  no filter exists when you can hide behind a screen

Watching everyone, one by one, become zombified

 in a virtual world, with virtual love and virtual dreams.
