Screen Time
Yenaros' mix of lyricism, detail, and style is a dangerous poetic force to be reckoned with.

Screen Time
An entire generation fixated
On a screen.
We can’t seem to tell the difference between
Fantasy and make-belief.
Focused on things that
Aren’t real
To the point
Where we don’t know how
To feel.
Same do the same things on
Our phone each day.
We check our apps, our likes,
Our status, to see if we managed
To reach fame.
It comes to the point where we look
Obsessed.
We think that looking good and
Doing obscene stuff will bring
Us success.
The sad part is that you’re right.
People don’t like to meet
Face to face.
They always want to move
From place to place.
Spending more time on our phones
Than we do with our family.
Times have changed.
We say “I love you”
To that cute face before
We say it to our own bloodlines.
Things have gotten rearranged.
Hours a day
Spent on media.
Words have been destroyed
To the point
Where we rule out the encyclopedia.
Our eyes are being
Damaged by focusing on
What’s wrong.
Maybe one day we’ll have enough
Sight to break away from
All this stuff and be strong.
