Are we in the era of escalating vanity? So many strike a pose It’s where anything goes Once or twice ain’t enough There’s always that extra dose Like, selfies and Photoshop Online purchases ‘til you drop It’s a start, but you won’t stop No audience and you will sob Is this the era of escalating vanity? Let’s be honest: we want the whole world to see How good or bad our lives can be We often make each other feel ugly Our silent screams say: “Me! Me! ME!!” Has the digital life stolen All the oxygen From our brains Distorted our common sense? I mean, what’s with the arguing with strangers for some sick satisfaction, A mental bloodsport called trolling, Consistent bullying, Until souls are drained within, Derailed from their tracks, Like trains on an accident? Oh, what a pain! If this is the era of escalating vanity, Then God, help me How do I survive this endless spin Without feeling dizzy And eventually going crazy?
