VIRTUAL VOID
YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE
WITH DISTORTED VIEWS
A VIRTUAL VOID
YOU CALL REALITY
HOW MANY LIKES DO YOU NEED?
TO FEED YOUR SOUL
HOW MANY FILTERS DO YOU NEED?
TO CONFORM TO THE NORM
FOLLOWING THE LATEST TREND!
ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA
THE BLACK HOLE PULLS YOU IN
DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE
OF AN IDEALIZED WORLD
BASED ON RIGID NORMS
YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE
YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE!
DO YOU REALLY WANT
TO FEED A SICK SYSTEM
THAT MANIPULATES THE MASSES
AND DESTROYS PLURALITY
PHOTOSHOPPING YOUR WHOLE LIFE
TO HIDE YOUR TRUE SELF
SELLING YOU AN IDEALIZED WORLD
YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE!
