![]() SocietyA Poem by Dawn JonesSociety Psychosocial dissolution Brought on by an over
socialization with the television Each generation
deteriorating into mindless automatons Spending all of their
time making love to the home-style arcade Whatever happened to
the days where families played scrabble at the kitchen table? Instead they gorge
themselves on the loveseats of their living rooms Obsessing over the
latest celebrity faux pas Is Charlie Sheen really
winning or has he simply lost his marbles? Teenagers in their
skinny jeans and graphic tees loitering the malls Obsessed with being
drunk and naked While romanticizing
suicide And eating their
emotions because they have no other way to express themselves We’re losing what it
means to be a society Our only role models
sparkly freaks stalking teenage girl’s bedrooms in the middle of the night Nine year olds playing sociopathic
vampires on the playground When it used to be hopscotch
and Pogs How have we come to
this demolition of civilization? This destruction of the
constitution of humanity That is nurturing hate
between Beliebers and Bennett’s Army Children suckling on
the teat of a wireless connection We’ve forgotten that
there is a face behind the tweeting bird on our VDTs A soul on the other
side that smiles and laughs and dies a little bit more inside Bullying a new favorite
past time A game to make us feel
bigger and better then everyone else Is there a way back to
the lighter side of the force? Or are we too far gone
to resist the monster in the mask Allowing our children
to drown as hate swallows us down And the zombies created
by our own apathies take over the world © 2022 Dawn JonesFeatured Review
