Zeitgeist

Social media on fleek Prolific likes and praise we seek Knowledge of 'SELF' is as distant as a stranger in the night A nomad in a dark, desolate land so void of divine light Social distancing is now a central theme Incomplete sentences, text messages, and mindless memes Faces covered, beckoning all to join the masquerade Only weary eyes of confusion while a life of exuberance abade Mumbling music signifies obfuscating thoughts Shiftless artistry made popular, creativity not wrought Stored seeds in Svalbard No questions or concerns yet humanness is being marred Food shortage hovering over us Monsanto disguised as Bayer but still no justice Delta variant in the air 5G and fear emitting everywhere Take the 'Jab'! Come on and indoctrinate Don't be an outcast, participate Hitting more 'LOUD' and becoming more quiet Desensitized from voices of inspiration when instead there should be a riot Smart devices in hand appear cool Stooped over postures and slanted information, what a fool Vibrations so highly enticed Welcome to zeitgeist
