Addicted to the media that’s antisocial,
empty words echo through the clouds.
Privacy sold for gold,
reaping profits from the fiends of the screen.

👍🏾Likes, ❤️hearts & 😀smiley faces,
The cartel’s opiate,
they keep coming back for the digital crack,
Eyes red and brains drained,
sleepless zombies feeding on illusions.

In the polluted ocean, gems fall to the seabed,
covered with sand by the current.
Fake news and fake boobs stay afloat.
Hope is on another planet!

Abandon ship, enter the rockets

    Great truth that advocates your poem, @dmilliz. Good job! He pulled me a smile:

    Abandon ship, enter the rockets.

        I love the experimental and humorous voice in this poem. I'd love to hear it read out loud.

              Yes , that is right, because of corrupt social media lol. Actually by another planet I meant another platform, this platform . But in the long run yes !! We gotta enter those rockets . That last image could represent steemit in the future or the social media cartel . Thanks for stopping by!
