An Anti-social Medium

Social media 
An anti-social medium 

Forums of division 
Born of indecision 

Thorn of confusion 
Your mind’s infusion 

Creates a delusion 
To strengthen illusion 

Social media 
An Anti-social medium 

Numbing out the tedium 
Scrolling pandemonium 

The darkest addiction 
Self-Stockholm infliction

In lust with your sin
Out of love within

Convenience kills 
Worship web thrills

Ignoring real life
Defending your strife

You’ll stand between your addiction against anyone who dare speak against it; forsaking all else for your thrills…
