Facebook Suicide

--

The Devil is in the Distractions

I killed my face on the book today
Just did it, pointed and clicked
Yea, committed suicide in a digital way
Lifted myself, no longer will I be tricked
By the lunacy of what all people say
The idiocy of what they have picked

The devil is in the distractions
I am not a bird, I do not tweet
Social media broken into fractions
Of time, Life is just too sweet
For a constant set of reactions
To meaningless, nothingness, a retreat

Into the depths of the soul
I am not on a chain gang, linked in
My attention drawn into the black hole
That they tell us we must join to win
Set yourself free, make your life whole
Turn away! Turn away! To their chagrin
