Moving images and music together
hypnotize our minds not to blink
fusing new memory
and programmed ways to think.
Artificial fantasy blinds
create amorphous dreams.
Societal web of forgetting
seams together virtual reality themes
replaced normality and reformed being
robotically streaming in a brain fog coma
through towers of wire.
Chip your dog Chip with a chip, chip yourself too
make your body an ATM for whose convenience?
Bad is beast is beastie is best is bestie
beast mode compliment now that antiheroes rule
the heavy petting asylum zoo.
Virtually ruin us with monitors to teach us
new Pavlovian addiction tricks
slight of hand illusions mouth watering delusions
optically implanted confusion.
Teach us how high to jump, how far to run, retrieve and be sick
with pharmaceuticals in the water, Prozac and estrogen too
bottled water won’t save you!
Shock us with electrocuting metal piercing collars
police us and steal our privacy with drones hovering
and face recognition assassinations.
YouTube is our new professor, anyone is now a professional
be a channel post, ghost in the host
machine learning.
Alexa and Siri choose which accent to trust
to pretend it’s a she like us.
Ring blue fire screen us for invented safety slavery
airport strip search what happened to my shoes?
Our world’s become a prison, industrial complex refuse.
Big Brother corporations steal and abuse
digging tunnels, blasting rockets,
maiming our worth and existence.
Culling us like weeds, uncomplaining followers
distracted by our monitors.
Night of the living dead when life imitates bad art
we’ve finally become soulless vacuous
zombies with implanted buttocks
suck the fat out and put it where it counts
on the bee stung lips and dream house Barbie boobies.
Someday soon I predict a sale on three tits
and at least 4 extra prosthetic dicks to enhance the body image
Entitlement is the new normal, we shout, “More, more, more, more!”
until it’s over.

This very well sums up our world where Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984 have merged with a touch of The Matrix and a twist of Blade Runner thrown in for good measure.

I haven’t read ‘the Feed’ but if it covers the evils of mega corporations I’d like to read it. It’s insane how much they influence us.

I’m suspicious about the Internet/technology’s privacy invasion, and a host of other inventions that are supposed to improve society. ‘If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!’ is my motto

This is great Judy and true — how long did it take you to write it?

Hi Jeremy, thanks! I usually get an idea and jot down a title/theme, then I’ll look through the ideas and I’ll write a post about it. Usually it takes a few hours after re-editing it and looking for an image to match the theme. I’ll often publish and edit it again😁a few minutes later! Longer articles or memoir posts can take a day or longer to re-edit before I publish it, but poems are more spontaneous and quick to write.

Right, a few hours sounds quite fast. Interesting to learn the process — no doubt it varies from person to person.

I think it’s all relative. The kind of poetry I write is free verse, it’s stream of consciousness inspired, I don’t have set rules of rhyme requirements so writing poems is a very fluid process, effortless. Then I re-edit it and that consumes the most time, but still I don’t have the requirements of a structured rhyming pattern like villanelles, which are beautiful but I resist writing in a formulaic style. My exception is haikus, I write them and follow the syllabic rules but they’re so brief and simplistic, that they’re also not time consuming to write. I used to start and finish a first draft of a poem during my 20 minute subway commute to work. Now I walk so I miss that opportunity. Many poets here on WP write/post 5 poems a day everyday, it’s amazing. Writing memoir or an article or fiction takes more time for me, because of the inherent structure involved, the grammatical rules and the effort to be coherent and understood.

Beautifully penned! The saddest part is that we don’t even aware that we are living in the virtual world.

Thanks Megala, yes we don’t think about what’s real/natural or artificial. Only the philosophers thought about this, now it might become harder to discern the truth.
