Tech Enslaved

Born from motherboards staring her in

The eyes while feeding on centric placentas’

We’re b******s with no umbilical cords.

 

Missing belly buttons, emotions inept,

We speak circuits 010100.

Social contact? What is such a thing? When you

Could see my face in a book, get it? Facebook!

I’m an author of award winning useless statuses.

 

A literal literary littering minds of my go-along

To do list. I’m private, get outta MySpace,

Forget your request of a probable companion!

 

W.T.F! I’m confused! Say what you really mean,

Your ambitions are pointless.

 

If you find me interesting give me thumbs up,

If you like, give me a poke with a restless mouse.

Long lost I have I have your bar code (Holocaust)

iPhone you to converse.

 

I go through chats like a game of roulette,

It’s chronic masturbation,

Feeling at ease touching the faces of screens,

And keeping sanity in-tact with ergonomic keyboards.

 

Text, embed, and share if you feel the need,

I love you, arrow sign three, warm feelings generated

Through cold keys while listening to Alicia Keys on YouTube.

 

But hey… who am I to judge, I’m just as entwined as you

Amazing work on technology. We are enslaved so badly by technology that it's so easy to just get addicted to it. Trust me, you've simply just defined me in here. Great job, and I just love this work.

this is so very sad because its true. i love this poem! this is great! its insane what technology has done to the world! in a way its an advantage to have so much access to everything but in another way its a dissadvantage when it comes to being real.
