Eyewitness to Expiration

Continuing my interest/research into online addiction and digital manifestations of its effects, from doomerism to dopamine draining of all varieties. Condensing/collecting understanding via poetry. Also coagulated is this playlist of videos on the topic and related matters

Intangible long-term award
New normal, formal habitation
Relayed information, idea of influence
Instant delay as time slips away and suddenly it's day

Wasted night without a trace of fight
Evening after evening, morning screaming behind the screen
Proposed productivity, unscratchable itch now high and mighty
Untapped constant ads, ridiculous constant content

Unending fill, down and down with nowhere else to go
No bottom, never-ending circuit
More, more, more; algorithm adored until you pass out and snore
Volume up full blast; random, automated generative space

Personal unpredictable programming
Wholesome vine and a slip beyond entertainment
Focal, inconsequential nothing
Doomed, oh well still won't do shit whichever way it gets put

Eroded existence, consuming escapism
Circular glowing rut
Conclusive out-of-body hobby
Conscious, common misery

Menial memories, cracked magnificence fed with inflated insignificance 
Useless tool turned into a ligature for ape-brained fools
Contended creation, out of bag algorithmic filler
Eyewitness to expiration
