Description Remember when we log in and new things popped up that was entertaining?
We jump on the computers, locked in to cool things that we saw as interesting 
Now it's all memes and pop culture, trying to see who we beefin with 
What it all means is all torture, thinking of who else we sleepin with.

Online back when it was new and quite the vast concept
Now it's a war zone and it's always a fight about mass conflict
Not even a simple conversation, just argue about the little things and we get clicks
Pointless indeed and not even a "how are you?". It's the simple things that sticks

Internet is getting faster and faster, data transfers into a new era 
It seems people get madder and madder, anger messin up that mascara 
All we do is flatter and flatter, making no progress but ass kissing
And then we chatter and chatter, while opportunities wind up missing

The thing was that the online space was the place to feel safe and erase reality 
Escaping to the void of fantasy, in actuality is duality, probably worse, a fatality
Now follow me, take a walk outside to get some fresh air and don't be so sad
Honestly looking to the bright side is the best really, see? It ain't so bad...

It's wild honesty to paint the perfect picture of reality...
I sound old but shit man...it ain't what it used to be...

Indeed it isn't what it used to be.
Great poem, for both the meaning and the way it is written. I truly feel you.

Really likin' this a lot. The style lends itself easily to music and makes a lyrical read even without it... and the subject is one that's been on my mind for quite a while. Does 'new' mean 'better'? We have to look around and judge for ourselves, but when even governments toy with the 'net in order to publicize absurd diatribes, we're in trouble. I can't improve on what you wrote, but I must agree. Thanks for writing!... ...
