Dark

Free Verse Poetry

Apps on our screens got us living like machines

What’s more important your likes, comments, or dreams?

How to maintain your life and means

Rather than staring at a screen!

We get certain information and fake news on our hand-held computers

Trying to be troubleshooters

These apps control our minds like looters!

Stealing time to be a human robot

Our brains are turning into dry rot  

Being asleep and

following the rest of the sheep.

Focusing on a whole lot of medical-enhanced bodies,

food dishes,

comedy skits,

relationship debates,

and some motivational quotes.

Consumed by tiny screens

Are we living the dream?

In the dark, come to the light

Outside where the only screen I’m focused on is sunscreen!
