Social comment poem for critique

This god// we created of ourselves/ the world at our fingertips/ all seeing, all knowing/ casual observers of despair// our fellow man, our neighbour/ we make friends everywhere/ life is filtered by the few/ who know our every need// we no longer trust a word/ unless it is our own/ or from a smiley face/ that feeds our vanity// truth wears a Janus mask/ too much then overload/ no one suffers or is dying/ when our screen has turned off.//
