An addictive music-like drug that controls the mind
Easily pleased and becoming blind
Without a thing, like alcohol drowning
Brainwashed by this rotten society,
An unsightly beast that we are becoming.
A staring contest with the television,
Another episode of ‘The Secret Life of an American Teenager,”
Which stirs a lot of emotions,
Drama. So much drama.
The same time, a fast-paced pair of typing hands
In front of the computer another game was started.
“You cannot invade my land!”
Shouted Junior.
While at the other room, “Shut up, will you?!” yelled sister.
All night long, always on the phone.
No hope for this home.
A world without physical activities involved
Sitting in front of the computer all day long
A world without any real people
Knowing one another through the monitor
Hardly even knowing each other
Next thing you know, you are being conned.
A world filled with fears
A world full of tears
A daily dose being taken to forget
That another dreadful day is coming
Life. A useless life we are living.
“We are the dead,” so says ‘he’
‘Useless beings,’ in short, so to say ‘we’
An addictive music, a drug that controls our mind
Easily please and becoming blind
Brainwashed by this rotten society,
An unsightly beast that we are becoming
We are slowly dying
The human existence is disappearing
Through time…we are the ones cutting our lifelines.
‘We,’ the useless beings.
