Hankering after likes on Facebook and for retweets on Twitter do we pander
Destroying our bodies for that “perfect” post, the portals of Instagram we trawl and wander
Tossing and turning in bed on many a sleepless night consumed by angst and envy
Devoured by anger and enslaved by complexes, we are zombies intoxicated by greed
Conceiving our own despicable and destructive form of a contagious creed
Ultimately we will forage for peace and solidarity
In our elusive search for finding equanimity
