They keep us amused with bread and circuses

Or should I say theme parks and cruises

Or should I say T.V. and Netflix

Or I maybe could say

Instagram and Facebook

Or I might even say

Football and baseball

Fishing and drinking

And a plethora of other things

That blind us from reality.

And we wonder why

We have a problem communicating

With each other,

Isolated on our own separate islands

Where we have everything we want

But are deathly unhappy.

Wait until I see if Google has the answer,

After I finish my binge watch on Netflix.
