Psychic Disturbance: (2021) Poem by DM W

Psychic disturbance;
Fractured texts; fevered egos
And fractal longings;
Inbox infiltrations from
Many a scammer.
'I Can't Take My Eyes Off You! '
On a constant loop:
Adverts are at the foreground
Of our lives, like junk,
They rise exponentially
Daily & yearly.
Now they literally leak
Into things until
It's impossible to tell
The real from the fake.
O everything is intense:
24/7! ! !
'How the West was won' and where
It has taken us.
Cowboys, fanatics & trolls
Roam virtual worlds.
Angels & saints turn into
Prostitutes & pimps
In the twinkling of an eye.
Gender benders &
Gun toting drug addicts
Permeate the News;
Terrorism breeds like a
Virus; TV wars;
Inner city wastelands are
Always juxtaposed
With talking heads in bright suits
And pristine billboards:
Selling more & more & more
Sentimental dreams.
We're a long way from Eden.
Are we imprisoned In purgatory or hell?
