we are sheep

we are sheep.
we follow, we buy what
they want us to buy,
go where they want us to go.
we believe what they tell us.
big brother is watching
our every move.
every click of the keyboard
is known.
we have no minds of our own.
we need someone like
the likes of Oprah
to guide us.
to tell us what to eat,
what to read, what movies
to watch.
what new age religion to follow.
we are incapable of thinking
for ourselves.
we stare endlessly into
our phones looking
for answers.
craving that hit of a
dopamine ding.
we need to be entertained,
to multi-task.
to accumulate things.
we are impatient.
we are sheep going over
the cliff.
