Twenty-First Century

Man-Machine
                                          Isn’t it the same thing?
                                         The white light is bright
                                    Do we even know how to write?
                                        Correct, Correct, Correct
                                        Auto-correct has checked
                                              What is a friend?
                         Oh, you mean the girl who posted that one trend?
                                          Yeah, we’re super close
                            She commented once, “I love your clothes!”
                                            Erase, Erase, Erase
                               I don’t want to leave a digital foot-trace
                                           But, didn’t you send–
                                  Shhh, I thought you were my friend
                                We don’t speak of what’s been deleted
                         Because the act of doing has been uncompleted
                                       So, forget what once was 
                         And watch this funny video of fat Santa Claus
