Sonnet #46

I’d be lying if something worth saying

Would compel other people to hear me

There’s no denying apathy’s staying

Listless Americans are too weary

Scrolling, scrying, the content is endless

Antisocial with media, ignore

The crying, the malcontent, the friendless

Never enough memes, we always make more

Laugh once at one tweet, frying our hours

On a calorie-free gluttonous spree

Zuckerberg’s buying our time, our powers

Thousands dying in the land of the free

Our days at work, on our phones, then asleep

We’re trying and tired, and the days seep

Share.
