Sound and Fury

The internet is counterfeit
this has been true
since its first blush
of fanatic popularity-
AOL chat rooms were clogged
with baseness and dissimulation-
and since its grown in scope
and proliferation
but still maintained
its paradoxic uselessness
for, although it provides near
boundless information
and news' dissemination,
time and time and time again
the residue of its use is but
emptiness, despair, a sense of
failure and frustration.
The truth is Digital
only offers illusion,
neither action
or inspiration,
its flesh and sun and
physical conversation
that fosters change
and collaboration.

Facebook is a hollow husk
parasitic, a cannibal,
it is pretense, ego, masturbation
at its best distraction more often
nauseating, self involved, flagellation.
