Webs of Text

We live our lives
In webs of text
Checking out who got married next
Intricate are these webs
That we surround ourselves with
We can be anyone within them
So much subterfuge
Makes us forget who we really are
As Instagram buzzes with the next cool photo
We forget to breathe fresh air
We strike keys instead of meeting in real life
Coz Facebook is so entertaining
Gossip on  tap
When did this happen and how?
When did we get swallowed up by webs of text
That we chose to wallow in
While outside the world spins madly on?
What makes us so afraid to leave the house
Without our smartphones?
The web of text engulfs us
While out there our life flashes by
And we sleep in a cocoon of lies
While time flies


The Bilge Master
