Generation Blue
When they handed us devices
we never stood a chance
neck deep in social crisis
we’re pawns like Rosencrantz
Connected to each other
in unintended ways
a mobile-based infection
that set our world ablaze
Unblinking eyes cemented
screen scrolling
through our days
our brains have been
augmented
in unexpected ways
Doom Scrolling
through the day
bed-rotting
is what we do
retool the state of play
for Generation Blue
Let’s play some doorbell ditch
let’s play some kick the can
let’s run through the scented air
stop being Zucker fans
Let’s play some hide and seek
let’s walk around the block
let’s wade into the creek
and paint faces on a rock
We’re socially divided
we’re trapped inside our brains
we’re purposely misguided
by controllers of the reins
Doom scrolling
through the day
bed-rotting
is what we do
retool the state of play
for Generation Blue
