Viral And Vicious Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

Viral And Vicious



Viral and Vicious
Tell me what it takes to sanitize this level of savage
Is the level of idiosyncrasy something we can salvage?
We are bombarded with the vines once again
Check your spasms and clear folder this is no news or grapevine
The clips have gone viral around the world and back on your phone
What where your eyes tread, lest it's you trending with your infamous manners

Cameras everywhere by the click of a button all is sent
Is there any more privacy left on us to spend?
Is this vicious salvage that hungry for amusement?
Perhaps rules or regulation should apply
According to the new vine chapter this vice has just began
Cultural absurdity, nudity, vulgarity all appropriate in the city
Where then does this sit with our morals or traditions?

The amusement doesn't stop there yet
So catch yourself laughing at the peril of others on a funny clip you just got
You click share and spread around the misery
After all this wasn't your tragedy
This morning the post shared on my timeline
Knew I could afford time to read the line blurt out loudly with laughter
The medicine of the soul after all is a little morning amusement
Memes, funny clips, reposted generic jokes devoid of sense or sensitivity
The landscape changes every turn at the click of a forward button.
