Digital addicts

Cable
The electronic pipe
Flowing with bits and bytes
To keep the media ripe

Got to keep the masses
Enjoying the show
Keep them blind
With the digital flow

That delicious little wire
That poisonous snake
Whatever term you like
The truth can’t be faked

And “what is that?” you might say
Why you’re being programmed in every little way

You’re being fed a digital soup
To keep you in line
And out of the loop

We are all slaves of the digital code
All to willing
If I may be so bold

Baited, hooked and caught
Consume, spend, consume
Is what were taught

Click, click, click
My obedient slave
Fear not
I have what you crave

The lights
The sounds
And discounts you follow
All designed to keep you empty and hollow

Don’t forget to follow my latest tweet
It’s the same soul sucking message
Set to repeat

Do you see a pattern here?
It’s quite clear my dear

Your worth for the day
Is what you have available to pay

Quite a mess I must confess
But then again from this world
I expected nothing less

Sad that my expectations are so low
Then again that’s the goal
Of the digital flow
