Braindead

Braindead
By: Tyler Ross

There’s a disconnect
over saturating the world.
Uploaded, downloaded, 
distorted and distractingly whirled 

human connect falls 
to its knees
begging for another fix
training the brain to submit
more minds dead in the mix

controlled and summoned
A life inside a screen
a world with less of a dream
trapped where no one cares if you scream
with everything at hand
retaining information
is now foreign to understand
reevaluate what’s at stake
when obsession becomes a big mistake
desensitized,
no longer can we relate

you can’t get out
unless you go away
a less civilized and lazy Earth
our price to fucking pay

Take a stand
Get out while you still can
Reprogram the brain
Do more than you can

Its on us to reconnect
and snap out of it
dig up our roots
or live with what we get
braindead with a life in debt

What If?

What If?
By: Tyler Ross

An individual 
that stands out 
on their own.
A person you’re very impressed by.
A wit and intelligence 
that’s infectious.
Aesthetically radiant to you.
Wow’d by all the time.
Constantly on your mind.
A place so safe
Where you always feel great.
Appreciated.
Reciprocated.
Space given,
Life driven.
Empathy livin’.
A smile that floors you 
to the core.
And keeps you on your toes,
wanting more.
