Modern Day Zombie

The modern day zombie
Is folk like you and me
Keeping real life at bay
Living a virtual reality

One day we will awaken
To see where we went wrong
Our social skills have been taken
We've been plugged in for way too long

Walking around in a daze
Sleepwalking through life
Partaking in the current craze
Mind blunter than a plastic knife

We're all becoming braindead
Happy with our little distractions
Living in a world inside our head 
And never taking action.
