A Porn in Your Side
By Tim Kerton – No Tall Stories
The house to yourself
a super-fast connection
you open the site
of your chosen predilection
over-stimulation
unprepared by evolution
your neural pathways
embrace the confusion
multiple partners
too many to count
yet never satisfied
by any amount
dopamine release
the key to addiction
ensures this past time
will remain an affliction
you’ve opened the doorway
to desensitization
reboot now
or lose the sensation
this is not religious
or moralistic
open up your eyes
to the impotence statistics
a dystopian future
of solo voyeurism
two dimensional love
and compulsive onanism
the population controlled;
a new generations
reliant on porn
for its sexual relations.
