I see zombies.
They stroll the pavement with eyes glazed.
You attempt to make eye contact however they stride
Previous –
Unfazed.
Strolling.
Not seeing
They stroll by pedestrian crossings with no look.
Cross streets
Take an opportunity.
They’re oblivious
To a driver
One other zombie
However encased in metal
Texting
Driving previous.
Earpods in.
Partaking with others
Eye contact
Voided.
Going someplace however they don’t know they’re nowhere.
Nothing can distract them.
They’re dispossessed of consciousness.
I’m searching for clues of the possession.
Is it an alien
A virus
Or is it simply one other social media session
All I see is a tool held of their hand.
Eyes glued
Is that the clue?
They’re addicted and they’re distracted.
Their consideration and life is stolen.
They’ve a half life.
Not a full life.
They left that behind
Handed over the keys to the Zuckerberg thoughts.
The TikTok meme
Neurons fried
The fevered social media bind.
They see the lifetime of others
Within the stream
Polished and burnished.
Excellent.
They aspire.
To reside the lifetime of others seen from the surface.
They don’t see the perspiration of success.
The ache
The stress
That’s hidden.
Whereas they cry from the within.
Seize your life again.
In any other case the journey might be black.
So…
Don’t waste time watching others
Their downloads
Their movies
Whereas your goals are wasted,
On their distractions.
Whereas your time
Consideration and actions
And objectives
Your need
To rise and flourish
Are smothered.
