The house to yourself
a super fast connection
you open the site
of your chosen predilection
over stimulation
unprepared by evolution
your neural pathways
embrace the confusion
multiple partners
too many to count
yet never satisfied
by any amount
dopamine release
the key to addiction
ensures this past time
will remain an affliction
you’ve opened the doorway
to desensitisation
reboot now
or lose the sensation
this is not religious
or moralistic
open up your eyes
to the impotence statistics
a dystopian future
of solo voyeurism
two dimensional love
and compulsive onanism
the population controlled;
a new generation is
reliant on porn
for its sexual relations.

The alienation within “society” is staggering.
Deep poem ,very well crafted and I love the politics!

“This is not religious,

Truly a dystopian future.
For all our technology we are not better, only overindulged, lazy, perverted shut-ins. How many Sci-Fi prophets are being proven true? Overly connected but desensitized. God help us.
Well put my friend.

A very well designed poetic edge given to the travesties of this era.

I think porn is safe as long as we don’t “climb over the fence.” The erotic is good as long as we don’t “climb over the fence.” Many of the faces and torsos of porn images cropped to eliminate the “over the fence” stuff really can depict many of my Supra-Hero characters. Porn is safe sex. Porn is not encountering the deviants and criminals who strangle, mangle, and slaughter.

I agree that it is safe to an extent. I’m not anti-porn or pro-porn, porn exists. It was more a comment on the addictive nature and the inherent sadness of isolating oneself in front of a computer when there is life to be lived. Thanks a lot for your comment. See you around.

I feel the porn in my side. Solo voyeurism is a powerful statement about hedonism and the disconnect we have in realationships. Awesome piece. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for reading, mate. 🙂

I’m a bit late for the party, I know, but I just thought I’d say:
“All this ferocity is caused by our velocity,
We live with false intensity, a life of feathered density,
Arrive for the departure of the legendary archer –
A drowning generation in an ocean of sensation.”
