The Social Era


We're standing in a new era, The social era

This is the " I burn bridges with my words" era

Tongues are throwing fire at spirits, minds, bodies and souls

we watch it unfold and click like buttons

or repeating while retweeting

this is the " lack of conscience" era

Ignorant to feelings or emotions mostly

seeking attention, you want a mention

or new followers.

So you exploit and destroy dignity.

 lacking integrity.

Safe behind computer screens to hide and be the 

nightmare stealing sleep and peace.

Pray they don't load their piece

and release life from their bodies.

This is sick.

This is the " say no more" era

Sshh! say no more.
