The Greater Fool

 

 When education is erased

Loss of moral sense and taste

Your mind becomes a rusted tool

To be wielded by greater fool

 

Diminished is the frequency

Of dignity and decency

Empathy’s capacity

Drained by sheer mendacity

 

From excuses to false alibis

Truth is felled by blatant lies

Deception now an overt trick

Digital world can make it stick

 

Ignorantly blind the frenzied feeders

At the trough of the bigger seeders

Accepting without warnings blinking

Asleep with sloth for critical thinking

 

Empty soon once busy streets

All traffic now in bytes and tweets

Spin us all to downward spiral

While crazy world is going viral

 

A final word from Sickipedia

To clones and drones of social media

All the wasted time you’ve spent

Has set your brains in fast cement
