    High Speed Connection

    Tick, tick, tick, goes the tapping of fingertips;
    As the 3PM bomb approaches sweet climax.
    Bam! Brief satisfaction.
    Releasing institutionalized drones off to the world.
    Single file they march, silent, they reach their goal;
    Paying tribute to the time card god.

    Regrouping at HOME base,
    Forming average 4.5 families.
    Self-absorbed husbands,
    Buying lust off the interwebs.
    Hideously picture perfect plastic wives,
    Forced into pill popping frenzy, a cure for loneliness;
    While their children are surviving,
    Life lines attached to a virtual reality world.

    Viral syndrome: work, sleep, repeat;
    Slowly depletes our creative potential.
    Humanity failing, culture now lost.

    SYSTEM ERROR!
    World crashing; in 3, 2, 1...

    So very very true, you see a lot.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
