offensive emptiness

imbecilic babbling goes on and on
about some silly games and whatnot
heads in their phones and doomed
because emptiness has them groomed

"look at me killing this game"
"i am just too good for myself"
"game is shit because too hard"
out comes a vacuous brain's fart

racing through the games like mad
on that new expensive tablet
the end product of our society
addicted kids that can't think free

unable to hold their attention
for longer than a minute or two
we are breeding a monstrous lie
and the reason why we might all die

on this train ride i am confronted
with the empty heads of the people
their obsession with killing time
nothing more than an impotent mime

I wrote this on the train when I came back from my visit to @angelveselinov in Bulgaria, I had just landed at Eindhoven airport and was kinda tired. On the train two children, both with an i-pad were mindlessly babbeling on and on about trivialities. They got on my nerves, so I moved further down the train. Where there were more people on and in phones babbeling about superficial stuff. I ended up outside the compartment near the doors, some peace at last...

I am writing a post about my visit to Angel and his family, spoiler alert: I had a great time there and made some new friends for sure. It will follow in a day or two, depending on how i feel and what crises pop up :D

I know I have not been very productive on my own blog, but in my defense I have been writing a lot for poetsunited, so... Also I have been working on the community bots a lot. I did write some lines of poetry here and there, I am hoping to work on them soon...
