lightning
i was sitting and watching the rain
thinking about every drop
that
tumbled
twisted
and turned
in the wind
and i thought about lightning
these magnificent sparks of energy
shooting towards the ground
in a brilliant display of affluence
but i felt numb
for these pixels on
my retina, hd, 15-inch screen
had rendered me senseless
through constant bombardment
of captivation, information, communication
now
now
now
movies and fast food
and race cars and mansions
more i screamed give me more
i crave more, i need more
crashing to the ground
please help me, i am but an addict
take this clear coloured
liquid of painful pleasure
and tear it from my trembling hands
i sit and i weep
oh how i wish
i could see
the lighting once again

This is well crafted.
This is well crafted.
You did well with describing habit and impulse and getting caught up with technology vs the natural world and it's wonders.
