Lead Leisure Life Poem by John Sensele

Appreciate your self worth
Distill not your soul into self worth dearth
Or others will hack your fun
Sacrificing it to a saturnine sun.

Don't give credit to haughty haters
Devouring brushes of trash from graters
Who claim to pigeonhole your soul on social media
If you dignify their indignity encyclopedia.

Switch off your phone and lead real life
Direct your energy into your fun fife
Munching morsels of pure pleasure
Pumping prose and poetry at leisure.

Pray for hope for social media slaves
Living a fake narrative six feet in graves
Where real life they entomb
Separating their minds from bodies in Khartoum.
