Regarding the Digital Deluge

from the album "Across the Styx in a Paper Boat" by Aleppe

Social circles encircling malice

Rampant judgment by undeserving

Stirring up an inner wrath

Pain engaging virtual landscape

Led to the fodder by an algorithm

Extortion simply for the greed

Populace riven with anxiety

Addiction tightening its grip


Lurking enshrouded by deception

Danger or ignorance pervades

Misfits born from perverse opinion

Seeking out binary infusion

Digital generation lost in void

An omnipresent dopamine hit

Time appears to stand still

As life rapidly slips away

Fires of hatred and distrust

Growing epidemic of the screen

Eyes weary from cerulean cancer

Crush the suprachiasmatic nucleus
