Another flip through the media feed

You're bored but can't pull away

Blinking along with the screens

I'm tired but rest eludes today

I'm not a preacher here to lie

We're socially disconnected

Emotionally raped and blunted

It's too late to be saved

Our brains soaked in aluminum

Dead dendrites can't save them

Another pill is life better now?

You're numb but want to escape

Thinking along with all the screens

Broken but purpose can create

For a moment look at the children

Can you pull away from the screen?

Patter step, carrying laugh, wet cheek

Do you see yourself in any of them?

Do you feel yourself out of time?

I'm not a martyr here to judge

I just wrote this dumbass line

The screen's better for your time

It's too late to be saved

Disconnected raped and blunted

our brains soaked in aluminum

Suffer the children

Suffer the pieces of us

or save them

or save them
