Brain Floss

Two minute headlines
No time to think
Ideas remain unprocessed
Sanity on the brink

Commercials fill the void
With mindless entertainment
Untold Hallmark holidays
Celebrations without sentiment

A plastic card
Can buy you happiness
A pocket phone
To hide loneliness

Brain floss
For a lost generation
No thought, no worry
No future destination

Influenced by MTV
Lessons go unlearned
Who shall we mimic today
No original thought discerned

Implants and botox
A poisonous fountain of youth
Despite the millions spent
Plastic cannot erase the truth

Brain floss
Destroys another generation
No hopes, no concerns
All lost to genetic manipulation

Science cannot close Pandora’s box
DNA for the masses
Promising a life without death
Only for the upper classes

Immortality no longer a dream
Genetic welfare for the rich
But for those without connections
Life is still a bitch
