Sloth
Another day pissed away, how did this all come to be?
Opportunity knocked and then ran away with a scream.
My addled brain’s being eaten by manic moths, you see.
Who’s that actress, what’s the latest on my favorite team?
My electronics beckon, siren calls promising instant glee.
I beg for anything to help me hide the hurtful malaise.
There’s nothing left to strive for, the future’s adrift at sea.
I’m just another i-Zombie stumbling in an electric daze.
The eyes soak in pleasure but my face is a panicked plea.
There’s no escape when boredom leaves and anxiety stays.
