A poem

Where everything is not what it appears. Where reality is forgotten. Where truth is evaded. Where the lies begin and never end...

Filtered.

Where your thoughts are controlled by another. Where you think more about how you look rather than being real. Where image is better than anything.

Filtered.

Where you're not allowed to disagree or share other opinions besides the status quo. Where you're wrong always and don't have middle ground.

Filtered.

Colors are being exploited. Nature is being recreated. Order going into chaos. Where what is true is masked by the demand for our way.

Filtered.

In order to be known, one must lose themselves into the sea of empty, hollow, shallow, and mediocre lifestyles. To be distinguishable is wrong.

Filtered.

Through the eyes of others, watched and made watchable. Through the eyes of one other nation...we are being monitored and disfigured.

Filtered.

Filtered.

Filtered.

Filtered.

Filtered until all that is left is an empty space...a vacuum of nothing.

And you cease to exist.

Filtered like sand...

Filtered like photos...

Filtered like blogs...

Filtered and controlled...

You cease to exist.
