Slam Sunday: Post 5 – “Screens of Discontent”

Intro:
In a world addicted to the glow of screens, this poem digs into how technology shapes truth, divides us, and fuels discontent — the digital battleground where reality fractures and rage spreads.

Poem:
Scroll, swipe, like, repeat,
A digital heartbeat, incomplete.
Truth gets filtered, bent, and spun,
Behind every click, a war begun.

Algorithms cage us tight,
Feeding fears in the dead of night.
Echo chambers, walls of sound,
Where common ground is rarely found.

We rant in pixels, fight in threads,
While empathy quietly dreads.
Fake news breeds in shadowed code,
And lies grow heavy like a load.

But what if we looked up, eyes wide,
And found the humans on the other side?
Could connection break the chain,
Or will we drown in our own disdain?
