The New God

Cities buzz louder than the wind.

While screens bloom with forests

no one remembers touching.

A river runs in high resolution,

looped endlessly for calming sound,

your digital rest stop—

though no fish breathe beneath the pixels.

 

We feed on blue light,

scrolling endless mouths 

open for meaning.

Compassion a filter,

between ads for things 

that make us feel alive

for a moment—

a moment too small to measure 

before we buy again.

 

Time prowls in glass reflections,

our faces thinning to data,

our names reformatted.

What's your @? 

 

Even memory tastes artificial now—

Feeding to the grid,

the For You Page.

A digital scrapbook,

trading love for likes,

plastic wrapped nostalgia,

edible for twenty seconds.

 

What is left of us

when we no longer hear the trees breathing?

When every sunset is branded,

every silence converted to algorithmic applause?

 

Time devours 

what we pretend to preserve,

and we thank it,

as if being remembered 

by machines

were the same 

as being loved.
