Digital Addicts

Cable The electronic pipe Flowing with bits and bytes To keep the media ripe Got to keep the masses Enjoying the show Keep them blind With the digital flow That delicious little wire That poisonous snake Whatever term you like The truth can’t be faked And “what is that?” you might say Why you’re being programmed in every little way You’re being fed a digital soup To keep you in line And out of the loop We are all slaves of the digital code All to willing If I may be so bold Baited, hooked and caught Consume, spend, consume Is what were taught Click, click, click My obedient slave Fear not I have what you crave The lights The sounds And discounts you follow All designed to keep you empty and hollow Don’t forget to follow my latest tweet It’s the same soul sucking message Set to repeat Do you see a pattern here? It’s quite clear my dear Your worth for the day Is what you have available to pay Quite a mess I must confess But then again from this world I expected nothing less Sad that my expectations are so low Then again that’s the goal Of the digital flow Eric (and sometimes not)
