Unplug

Government’s shut down

No job is safe, what now?

Broken systems, powerful people exposing and imposing themselves 

Still rich and famous - closet mansions filled with bones on shelves

Power corrupts

When is enough, enough?

When others get caught

They still don’t think, ‘maybe I should not?’

They’ll never believe you verses me

Am I talking about singers, comedians, actors, or politicians?

All of the above plus the smoke and mirrors of social and commercial media magicians 

We all scrolling for comments and likes - begging permission

Memes and videos on 2x5 inch screens

Hypnotized, no longer wise, just information feigns

Like erratic, static, and various media streams

Overloaded with fake news, facts, and entertainment

Lines blurred, reality’s absurd, free candy crush addictions become a monthly payment

Unplug...

Yes, they are just unplugged. It's just a temporary experience to remind them of what could permanant if they ever thought to not support the present political tyranny. Great write. Thanks for sharing. Peace and Love, mlowe5
