War looms on
the horizon
Peace drowns
in a sea of rhetoric and bigotry
Violence
marches in step to hate
Ethereal
voices whisper
Stop! Before
it’s too late…
Laughing
Loving
Singing
Dancing
to the
rhythm of blood pulsating through the veins
The selfie
generation reins...
Drowning out
the rumbles of war
Drowning out
blinding visions of chemicals sizzling
In the grey
matter of existence
Drowning out
the sound of missiles firing
Drowning out
declarations of supremacy
masking man’s
hypocrisy
The selfie
generation
Mesmerized by
expanding technology
Peers into
the phone in search of an instant reality
Defining parameters
of connection
crisscrossing
the globe
Lassoing likes
travelling through space
In a race
against time crucial to survival.
