Enslaved

Social Media; 
Perfecting Hysteria.
Push button Reply;
Gas lightight the why.

Sticks and stones...
Blood and bones... 
Reds and blues... 
Roaring 'Boos'...

Silence begets silence;
Speech yields violence,
Passion to fight, 
Stomping the blight.

Stuck in motion;
Ignoring all notion. 
Frantically turning;
All paths churning.

Ground faulting;
Conscience halting.
Lies swirling;
Truth curling.

Confusion surrounds;
Chaos abounds.

Champion humility;
End the futility.

Plug the ears;
Muzzle the fears.
Pause the trigger;
Quell the vigor.

Close the eyes;
Unveil the guise
Force the thought;
Lest be bought.
