April PAD Challenge, Day 17

Prompt: a poem about pop culture

***

My Scream Screen

lamentation song

make me laugh,
square flickering thing,
make me forget all the troubles
I had today,

oh, make me laugh!

make me cry
over a made up death,
let me forget for a moment
my real pain,

oh, make me wail!

make me love
or rather be loved,
find me somebody I could believe
is mine,

oh, give me love!

make me live,
tell me I'm worth a shot,
give me a number to call and
a site to check,

oh, help me live!

make it real,
square digital thing,
all this incredible world that
you call our life,

please, make it real. . .
