Social Media

For lack of attention

And lack of invention

They couldn't help it 

Now we can't stop it

With mustered pretention



Living in the keyhole

The pretty lies are sold

Women of appetite eat

Cannibal spawn tweet

As our credits roll



Just out of light

In the shadow of right

Men counterfeit valor

Then duck and cower

Lacking a will to fight



Fast forward life time

Wonder past its prime

Cut and paste history

To create a mystery

Of victimless crime



Remember what to say

Regurgitate yesterday 

We salted the earth

And lost its worth

We lost our way



Alone in the corner

The facts adorn her

Through rise and fall

Truth awaits us all

As we learn her cure



Folly laughing loud

The trashy and proud

Can't see it there

Behind the despair

Death with its crowd
