Cinematic Society

A cinematic story of heartthrobs & heartbreak.

A parade of passionate shapeshifters.

Today, it’s love laced with hope.

Tomorrow, it’s the inevitable sorrow that follows.

An outworn novelty chaptered with chapstick & chaperones.

Nuanced by nostalgia & romanticised by misleading lead characters.

Popularity showcasing propaganda in the world’s biggest parody.

Iconic to modern generations searching for a muse in the myriad of similar options.

Inspired by pointless captions -

Captured by uninspired millionaires reeling in reactions & reputation as their reward.

The millennial market is at its peak in stock share.

Sold mainstream merchandise that comes at a price of human rights.

The predetermined addiction is a screen that summons a feeling of being unseen.

Sending the seekers to search for meaning.

Swimming between the meaningless media made to make them mindless.

Brainwashed by bots to become washed out & brain dead.

Trapped by artificial intelligence in a game of capitalism & subliminal depression.

Selfies & online stores are the new anthem of society.

Humanity indoctrinated by designer jeans & vapid drama.

Celebrities selling must-have closets & the latest gossip.

Distracting us from the dilemma of our dystopia with discreetness & indirect darkness.

Censoring the lifestyle of loneliness & infinite longing forewarned in the fine print.

A craving for community is crawled to in the interconnectedness of the internet.

Only to find distance, desolation, & disconnect.

What insight do we gain from hours scrolling away?

When did Netflix become the net we willingly swim into?

How many moments have we missed with our face looking into an interface?

Do we seek Mother Nature in the virtual villages of a mother board?

Connection is now the strength of your signal.

Identity is intertwined with the inadequacy of online individualism.

Passion has drifted from being the pursuit of purpose.

Purpose lost its opulence in a narrative where net worth is valued over self worth.

Purpose is now a performance.

A show for those dressing their passions in followers, fashion, & filters.

Selling a dream that, behind the scenes, is a nightmare.

One that keeps them up under the moonlight of moral misconduct.
