I Try Not To Get Miffed By Things These Days

But the term "influencer" puts my mind in a haze

Surfing social media before becoming self-aware
is like going on a diet while eating an eclair.
You are open to suggestion while discernment is on mute.
Your Botox lips and padded arse look very far from cute.

Humans crave acceptance but do not realize the enormity
of the problems that are caused in the name of meek conformity.
Can you eat a twelve pound steak in under sixty minutes?
You must eat all the sides of course, and all without a grimace.

The emphasis on excess is a tool to feed the ego.
It blasts through the mind like a Bangalore torpedo.
It feeds the part of you that's fake, the part that ignores Spirit.
You'll go through life an empty shell pretending you have merit.
