#GoFu<kYourSelfie

sheep,
while you were taking pictures of your food
while you were posting your current mood
while you were liking your BFF’s pics
while you were following the latest tweets
while you were checking the # of your followers
while you were glued to your phone’s screen
while you were engrossed in gossip and “fake news”
being wired and connected actually made you disconnected
you were in a coma when you thought you were “woke af”
while you were hashtagging everything, you weren’t paying attention

you missed it, you fell behind
a willful participant in your own cluelessness, foolishness
the powers that be be that power
that invisible hand that pulls the strings of your life,
we’re all puppets, but you love it

while you were 99% distracted,
the 1% enacted and impacted
your life, right in plain sight
behind your back, smoke and mirrors,
3-card monte with your rights and liberties,
abracadabra, their hocus pocus made you lose focus

and you let them do it

but you don’t care
you’re too busy starbucksin’ & star fuckin’,
yoga classin’ & intermittent fastin’,
catfishin’, ghostin’ & avocado toastin’

it’s loud and clear
you don’t care
so make sure you frame it right
wait, get that out the shot
ready? good.
you look perfect
say cheese, sheep

go fuck your selfie
