adrift in lucid death
sedated by complacency
we chase confetti smiles
stalking phantoms
our cameras click
oblivious to the impact
the conspiracy theorist
the religious zealot
a comatose but conscious fool
illusions and daydreams
suspended moments caught
our voice amongst the mayhem
influencers naked pitch
passive workaholic playthings
sobbing bullied hearts
what craziness have we prescribed
warming climate
blood sugar overload
immune, resistant
blue moon cardiac arrest
awake with wokeness
a careless drift
across timeless ocean
cholesterol and pollution piled high
social media invisible warlords
blind eyes, deaf ears
madly boiling brains
our stage upon a stage
delicate sips
or exit at the slightest hint
