Poem

Living in a masquerade
Hiding our truths in the shade 
Veiled Behind electronic devices 
The Physical world Minimises

Concealed behind a blue and white light
No melatonin released at night 
Our brains don’t accept it’s time to sleep 
And every day we’re on repeat 

A vicious cycle ceases to stop
When hid behind our phones and lap top 

Wanting to be something we’re not 
Living life through a mobile robot 
Pupils straining , brains rearranging 
Photograph your food , words misconstrued 

We used to wear watches and read paper maps 
Took photos with cameras , had real contact 
We spent Summer days out in the fresh air , riding our bikes with the wind in our hair


Simulation , stimulation lost inside a lie
Isolation, modification , apps that beautify
Lacking essential social skills 
Online Casino gives you thrills 

Book shops closing , hackers disclosing 
Filters , snaps of zombies posing
Selfie sticks and brains decomposing 
Judging ourselves With an air of self loathing 


Expectations of Instant gratification
Vulnerable souls face Victimisation 
Predators and bullies target their prey 
Illicit pictures on display 

Conversations overthrown 
Surrounded by people 
Yet still quite alone 

With one selfish text lives become wrecked 
Took your eyes off the road just for a sec
Sirens arriving , little chance of surviving
All because of your self-absorbed driving


We hold it dearer than humanity 
Ignorant and lost at sea 
We need to find our way back to land 
And release these crutches from our hands
