Poetic Podcast Episode 2

Manipulated with digital cigarettes 
Withdrawals and a pair of shaking hands,
destroyed lungs and it’s hard to breathe;
Addiction could turn to extinction;
You’ve been warned;

Finessed; 
Depressed and constantly binging; 
Passing the time 
counting down to the next feeding;
You’ve  been warned; 

Polarized social interactions,
not even asking for change; 
Artificial social transactions,  
nobody left has a pulse; 
You’ve been warned ;

The Labels have become illegible;
I’m going to say what you’re afraid to,
do what you just talk about; 
Start a trend and shut down ‘trending’,
before I’m forced to say 
‘You were warned.’
