Channel surfing…
All I can eat
All mine
Yet never me,
Entertainment worlds in a button,
All the colour, life and choice,
Yet lifeless, death in pixels
Nothing that means,
No connections,
Ads and advertising
Promises and pleasures,
High definition creations
Giving blurred zero self-images
Unreal masquerades of the real.
Can I
Leave the hate
Lose the forgery and fakes
Vacate negativity
Cut the crap
from my life,
Take any truth
I hear and see
and become different?
In a world without reason
feeding lies to sensations
where lies my lifeline?
Starting Thoughts: We live in a saturated media world that is sucking more and more reality from our identity and relationships, death by a thousand pixels in many ways. Is there an answer to the rising mental health and anxiety issues in our world?
