Media

I'm listening to the radio but I can't hear anything.
I'm watching T.V but I can't see anything.
I'm reading the newspaper but, I'm just seeing words.
I'm looking through a magazine, but it's just a bunch of pictures.
Why am I being consumed by the media.
Thrown into an endless void. An oblivion.
My senses are not occupied.
They are alone and ill used.
This void. This oblivion, will be the end.
Engulfed in a world that doesn't exist as we know it.
But makes up our entire lives.
