Technologies Grasp
Constantly devouring time
like an insatiable swine
filling my head with nothing
a balloon ready to burst
at the same time a skeleton key
unlock the knowledge of earth.
We cling to this technology,
influencing our psychology
unclear if its better or worst.
Never obsolete,
Never will it,
quench your thirst.
Overcome the numbing grasp
get in touch with what will last.
All things come and go,
don't lose track of your eternal soul.
Don't blindly fallow society
Don't fall prey to our expounding,
Technology.
