This Machine Kills Humanity

“Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds”
-Black Sabbath

We’ve got it bad
road rage
and we’ve been driving
4 hours every day
6 years straight
at least
No wonder everyone is insane
addicted
obsessed
You don’t need a license to drive
or to deem people disposable
When we can’t look each other in the eye
we put them in a box
where they belong
until they become 2 dimensional
We curate our own life
to fit within finite moulds we bought for cheap
made with slave labor and sold on wish
Until we ourselves become perfect
perfectly 2 dimensional
So easy to put everyone in their places
when we trade moments for photos
conversation for replies
belligerent boldness
hate before understanding
submission quickly!
lest we ever give in to omission
Can we go back?
Where is the antidote to this daily poison we consume?

I believe in something

that there is good in most everyone
regardless of their politics
that I can disagree
deeply
with people I love even deeper
that there is
such joy!
in discovering the unexpected
from people you tried to package
that we could find healing
by looking into the eyes of our brethren

and not at a device.
