Reality Drought
Passionate words cheapened to pixels
And so many of them, our minds have turned fickle.
Branches and wires tangle and stick
We can’t distinguish false from organic
Communication commodified
Minds are being monetised
Attention is the currency
In this drought of reality
We don’t know what we’re voting for
Or which countries are at war
We want more and more and more
But we are so time and truth poor.
