Dark Wave Tsunami

We are the dirty purveyors of other peoples lives
renouncing the living breathing beating heart
in exchange for another photo of craft ale 
and home-cooked food with a foot note description
as if it would fill our bellies and sate our hunger.

We are the dark wave tsunami of digital information
waxing lyrical about that holiday in Spanish sunshine
and a rant about car parking attendants and traffic jams
rather than the outstretched palm to jaw caress of realness
instead we line up perspectives of another bottle of wine.

We are the breeders of the optic L'enfant terrible
gorging on the memories of other worlds in 140 characters
snap shots of the life we could have had outside of the screens
the spineless automatons of digitized free love
the could've been, would've been lumbering electronic has-been.

We are the tumultuous storm rising fighting against the unknown power
we unite to save bees and coral reefs
and explore the concepts of actually doing something humanitarian
all we need do is sign the petition before the 11th hour
and be one of the thousand voices saying:
NO. We won't take this any more!

We are the saviours of our time and the rescue merchants of lost dogs
imbibed by Scrabble and Candy Crush weaving the elusive like a band aid
the tapestry of memes and images of cute kitteh's in boxes
chasing the shadows of reality on a stick for kicks
and all the while the moon is out there somewhere shinning her light
glorious silver light etching through the hash tag of cloud formations.

We are no longer what we thought we were. We are each other.
A hemoglobin gelatinous mass of misinformation and forgotten dreams
You are not alone. Even if you wanted to be,
my friend, my sister, my lover, my brother
quoting movies as if it were an inner wisdom speaking in tongues.

This and the last one I read puts --- the eye opener type feel in the work...you can see that is evident as you read this line for line...I do believe you have typos in there:

besides that...this was a food for thought of a verse...gets the mind thinking...

'Kitteh' is the preferred meme term for a cat in general online... thanks for reading Glen, glad you liked it

Interesting! There is no greater beast than man. I read that if all of the honey bees die that human life will cease to exist within about 4 years because there will be no more pollination of crops. Pretty scary! Sorry for the tangent but I thought the line about how we unite to save bees was interesting. Great work!

Thanks, and yes, Love the Bee's
