It's scary to think how much trash
Fills our full minds each day
Words and images and videos
Unstoppable, coming our way
We waste our time feeding our minds
With things not beneficial
We compare ourselves to those we see
On bases so superficial
Crazy, isn't it, when we think about
How people spent their time
Before technology and its impact
On lives, yours and mine
When information competes for space
In our brains so clouded
We think of nothing else but these
Opinions and ideas shrouded
We seek to think about ourselves
When there is so much more
that can be done to touch others' lives
Instead, perfection we adore
Changing who we are to what we want to be
To try to make an impression
All in the name of uniqueness
Individualism and self-expression
Complaints and swearing and negative vibes
Flooding our tortured souls
Affecting our lives and emotions
Getting in the way of life goals
Maybe it's time to care less
About others' perfect-life projection
Perhaps one day we will realize
Our minds need lots of protection
*
Finally, brothers and sisters,
keep your thoughts on
whatever is right or deserves praise:
things that are true, honorable,
fair, pure, acceptable, or commendable.
- Philippians 4:8 -
