Shutting off, Logging In: This Is the Modern Age

April 2, 2015

In this modern world
you have anew identity - at breakneck speed
and it’s disturbing
It is not yours
but it resembles
the very first things you wrote
- posted
the very first images you wanted to share with the public
regenerated originals
And now everyone is the same
except for their domain.
That address has been taken
Please type RyUi7799/ nine, Enter to prove you are human
It’s what others want, how others want to see you as
And everyone just wants to prove
they exist and are humans
living, living, living
And everything you want is just a type away
and there’s no need to focus
-on what isn’t a distraction
this is the modern age.

There is no privacy anymore. Intimacy is lacking. We share and are distinguished by generated identities.

 

...Think about everything you know. Is it real? Is it want you want?
