DISCONNECT-ED #poetry by jay

digital disconnect

To live a lifetime through sun rain and history made

the times broken by greed vain 

the connection to love in social domains 

breaks hearts 

that know no way forward

the rich full body of work and living 

left the planet 

to those that begging has dropped 

fear and claims to fame 

driven by algorithms contained in space

the intimate clutch of friends and heaven 

lost to feelings in robotic munitions

wanderers of cities 

blocks of horror 

destined to protract a borrowed tomorrow

fiends and friends mirror each other 

the lack of care in bitcoins and dollars

rattles the nerves for centuries 

to holler out the cries and hollow out the baggage 

of bravo’s likes awards all shamed 

to place them in front/ in back 

and plays alongside all who chant go on go on!  

‘where connect’ and ‘where forgot’  live to bargain away 

lives met then butchered for stats and shares that hold no water 

grace replaced for unseen tomorrows 

to see it unfold/ decades transfused for blood 

from love—the dance of ritual used for fun

no more no less no way 

to see the future 

be gone 

be lost at sea 

return the bodies return the minds  

let go of rotten gains and follows to lead astray the years/ decades

build shatter connect forget

light it up and reset!
