Society

It is impossible to rest
The nuclear energy of society stops for no-one.
If we attempt to take our foot off the gas, our internal flywheel thunders on
Preventing our engine from stopping.

We never sleep.
Stress and pressure have overtaken bread, rice and potatoes as our staple dietary needs
Food is an afterthought, over processed, readily produced chemicals to ingest
Keeping another cell of the mighty machine running

Simple things have ceased to exist
Extinction of face-to-face communication
An environment full of self service, pixels and emoticons
While real facial expressions stay locked away

Modern society has screwed us over.
