Under-lying symptoms. A poem by Bee Rock Steady

They’re still capitalists
in the midst
of the apocalypse.

Lack of info
turns this into
more of a ShitShow.

Lazy fucks
just passing the buck.

What’s the story behind the story?

Am I insane
to complain
about the technological pain?

Using humans
as tools for musing.
All for profit.

Our eye sockets,
glued to pocket devices
and tv screens.

Words that are carefully cured.
It’s so fucking absurd!

Line the streets
with technology
that seeps
into our breathing
and causes
catastrophe!

CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!
