Tap! Swipe! Ping!

A Society Obsessed with Perception

Tap! Swipe! Ping!

You crave it more than anything.

A stranger's validation,

What's happened to the nation?

Is it some strange 21st century mutation -

Where you can have thousands of followers,

but can barely keep up a conversation?

You can't keep up a conversation,

but you can keep up the daily self filtration.

Scrolling down the rabbit hole,

Who will you be picking in next month's poll?

Which Kardashian has gone under the knife?

Is the internet really better than real life?
