I feel our collective venom
Everywhere I am
As if a hydrogen bomb smacked me
The moment the web awakened
Here in our collective ego
Ergo Facebook put us under spotlights
Did you feel the blow during elections?
Trump cannot be the only fangs of this Beast
Not red or blue, not even MAGA as he believes
Just one sad priapism of our viral erection
But he was a bomb that ushered in our era
It’s not his Tea Party taking on Obama right
It’s not hatred infecting Republicans left
It’s not Twitter causing Palin to streak
It’s not the sickness that’s possessed my ex
Some hypnotize themselves, some doubtful
It’s not her mock of my manhood as Trump would
It’s in our radioactive air of toxic imaginations
Where John Lennon once crooned like Lenin
It’s bred in our common five minutes of fame
Thank Arpanet for giving out timeshares
Instead of reruns of the Apocolypse
Just as in War Games, a bug was found in us
It’s our insides turned binary for all to gawk
Now everyone is weird, the masquerade of civility over
It’s the wild west of our neurons tweeting BitCoins
The Englightenment dimmed from the flash mob
The Magna Carta defaced by the Vandal, Bansky
Post-Truth has deferred to the morning star
I believe therefore I’m right may be Satan’s line
We are truly His dark children, embrace Him
Instead, the royalty has globally regressed
Back to pubescence, Mars is still lonely
Five thousand years forward to humanity
One thousand years back to history
Even the Wild West came to end without land
Even the Black plague ends finding no chatroom
It’s medieval to misuse tech powers as grownups
Abused like manna falling carelessly as Apples
We are all ungrateful Jews and Muslims
Never satisfied with just desserts
Fondling our machines without coming home
Let’s examine the workings of sin and sex
And who can forget pride before the Fall
Tickling our sexy, lonely collective minds
Feeling enraged and deprived of faith
Turning to the dark side sabers gloating
At work again Tweeting and bullying
We enter another Dark Age by each keystroke
When Truth and Love became relatives
Back in 1969 when the packet of sanity broke
Back when my sister was born in a warzone
Communion became nearly impossible
Obama, sing Amazing Grace for us again
Against the blackness terrible on the web
Deal me out till justice trumps this Hate
The sun will come up again, this I have faith
In time we will all be in our innocent Red Giant
That’s what the Greeks angled for long ago
