In our addictions we still hunger,
for the next big story in our feed.
About another act of violence,
or some politician’s lies and greed.

Still scrolling for hours at a time,
to find the gossip that someone said.
We will follow down the rabbit hole,
believing in every word that’s read.

Celebrities living the good life,
a life we will never get to know.
Who’s the latest, greatest superstar,
making a million off their next show.

It’s a wonder we can sleep at all,
with all that the media can bring.
Each time we swear we will give it up,
We will see the next best, greatest thing.
