Sign of the Times

Seeking pleasure in external bliss Identifying themselves to illusive truths Gadgets have become their life force toys Narcissism consuming their languid souls Obsessed on which facade to portray Flaws masked by a virtual display Trust abhorred by domineering machines Hiding behind speculative screens Engaging in idle, futile conversations Triumphant to lonely trophies consolations Indifferent to who’s riding on the same train Microchips supplanted in a lazy brain Enslaved, oppressed by the ruling social media Sad and shocking, this new version of encyclopaedia 3rd PLACE Sign of the times-Acrostic poem Contest Judged: 5/1/2018 12:00:00 AM Sponsored by: John Hamilton | Send Soup Mail
