We watch our mobiles and our tellies,
TV on the internet,
Internet on the TV,
On the mobile.
Our lives are spent
Immersed in soaps
And reality TV.
Hours and hours
Of subsidised sport
And fake news.
Daily quizzes
And Jeremy Kyle
To keep us occupied
And Boredom at bay.
Like zombies we stare at our mobiles
Almost colliding
With people on the street.
Oh yes we chat
And message and text
With folk we’ve never met
Presuming they are real.
We play out time,
Betting and scheming:
Fantasy Leagues
And Facebook,
Snapchat and God knows what.
Occupying our addictive minds
Until the Grim Reaper comes.
“Comfortably numb” until the end.
