Dull and Void

Everyone, Everyday,
captured in the Media Gaze.
Every sound byte, Every image,
recorded and ready to be replayed.

Every click, Every comment
filed away in little black boxes.
Every phrase, Every snap,
twisted and transformed into a legal trap.

Everyone, Everyday,
trying to stay out of the flaming fray,
Every like, Every favourite.
a chimera growing by the minute.

Every story, Every tale,
bent and twisted a hundred ways.
Every thought, Every buy,
traversing a million miles.

Everyone, Everyday,
trying to find a place to aim.
Every second, Every hour,
shoulders chipped, easier to look over.
