We live in a digital age of viral ignorance
Lost in the spiral at times is our common sense
Boosted by mobile that runs on apple and android
Blasted we are with news, ample and void
With humor added, spam it gets lacking veracity
Ignorant of rumor, added to a mocking society
Memes, snippets, videos et al we receive as forward
Reading them all we see ourselves and perceive as backward
Through WhatsApp and Snapchat we connect to folks far and wide
Alas, we ape and snap at our own folks near and beside
Like bees out of its hive, ignorant of the spy, on its honey to steal
Likes and share we do, ignorant of the privacy we reveal
Cross the road I see people do, with mobiles against their nose
Engrossed & ignorant of dangers approaching from far and close
We live in a digital age of viral ignorance
Ignorant of impact on our life and casual hindrance
Its never too late to come out of this ignorance
Just add to your plate, discipline and endurance
