Trial by Twitter

 

“…why torture ourselves in order to hurt others?”

 

-Dag Hammarskjold, Markings

 

We have made ourselves a surveillance state

Eager to be approved

Fearful of being judged

We the accused must not presume to think

 

We impeach ourselves daily on their screens

(The screens are hardly ours)

Accusing ourselves of sin

Against the loving terror of the Now

 

But as for a torch and a Phrygian hat –

Is there an app for any of that?
