Our lives have become “Cocaine Addicts” of some sort,
Addicted to the internet.
Let us call ourselves Data-Sucking Vampires,
Addicted to the text,
Eyes always glued to the screen,
Our generation can only be identified by the term.
“Phone Zombies”
Welcome to the Techno Apocalypse.
Here, the Identity Deficiency Epidemic (IDE) has
Almost pushed imagination and creativity to a point of non-existence,
With an app for everything,
When will we ever have time to reinvent anything?
We have been programmed to think that society leads, and we follow…
Double tapping worldly actions,
Unable to post our own,
Playing tag with societal trend,
But how is it that we are constantly it.
Colour slowly becoming illegal,
Black and White is now beauty,
I mean, how else will we become photocopies,
Anything different is an outcast.
“I gatt two phones”
Music stations turned into bragging stages,
Speaking to the people an outdated way of making music,
Hope,
Inspiration,
Helpful messages,
All gasping for air in this music industry.
Drowning, because talking about money is the only way you can get it.
I guess music has forgotten its purpose over the years,
Replacing passion with money,
Lust in singers’ hearts
B.O.B was right; you cannot put a price tag to music.
It’s sad how we have become so materialistic.
I.G minded,
WhatsApp blinded.
Snapchat sighted,
Facebook hearted,
Friendships now based on the number of likes,
Character rated according to followers,
Love now shown through tags,
I believe Social media has killed enough relationships
To be the most wanted serial killer on earth!
Social Networks,
A place where inferiority and discouragement tattoos on us daily,
“You are not enough.”
No matter what we do,
We still envy.
Slowly making US think,
“It is O.K”
To Be
F A K E!
PLEASE SAVE MY GENERATION.
