Digital Dystopia by Kahari The Poet
The Age Of Detachment
reality is not reality anymore
a new Cold War
community is not community anymore
a new silent war
global is the new local
attention on suspension
intuition intruded
eye contact feels useless
logical fallacies in fashion
rationality losing its traction
fragmentation overthrowing the nation
impatience replacing patience
quotations of quiet desperation
false prophets insist to be in our midst
viral virus
depravity ruling academies
armies of zombies
broken faculties
broken families
enchanted by the cult of personality
love is merely a formality
gossip is spread like the gospel
hard to finish a novel
let alone an article
collective plight
brain drain
more Frankensteins than Einsteins
blue light is given the greenlight
age of excess
24/7 recess
the present in its detriment
alone on our phones together
welcome to the age of artificial intelligence
where everyone is a professor
thirsty to be relevant
egotistic lectures
trapped in a prism of digital narcissism
trapped in a prism of digital barbarism
beguiled by the wiles of counterfeit messiahs
being desensitized is normalized
secondhand ptsd on the rise
the simple things in life overanalyzed
good vibes weaponized
material objects lionized
animal instincts exploited
hard questions avoided
emojis
boisterous
emotions
joyless
look what the world has become
lone wolves on the run
disconnection
the new rule of thumb
spiritual distance
everything everywhere
all at once
