Poetry: ‘Reasons’ By Hermione Cameron (@HermioneCamer1)

Reas­ons

Some­times I think people have reas­ons, and some­times reas­ons not

I myself, a reason­er, hid under the misconception

That every­one did their thing for a reason

But then they said reas­ons like raisons

Dried up

We’ve been through the sea­son of reason

And reas­on is so last season

Its all about moments

With their smack in the face embrace

And face­book over books

He took a swing with his YOLO

Ended up in a hasht­ag cell

Chained forever in CAPS LOCKS

And omy­gosh

Would you sell your soul for a status update

Upgrade your­self?

Or have you had enough of the screen scene?

What you’ve seen makes you

(caps locks) SCREAM

For no reason

But for every reas­on in the world

Left dangling on web trail

We nev­er run from the spider

That lures us

Into the World Wide Web

Come let’s see the sites he says

This world he weaves

Words we read

Emoticons over emotion

Makes you want to

(caps locks) WEEP

Con­trolled, Altered & Deleted

But let it go

Like the rest of them

The grow­ing space bars us

From each other

The fol­low­ing two tabs change con­tent below.
