Valley of the [Gall]

by D. Xavier Bari

Enough is enough.
Put the keyboard
...down...
and back away slowly.
These eyes shall
read no further.

The peanut gallery
of the information age
is more gut-wrenching
than any cruddy bar
or park-n-fight
ever constructed.

A massive dystopia
of the uninformed;
with more to blame
than a little
elbow-greasing
from Silicon Valley.

They merely enabled
millions of idiots
to spout off daily
without the fear
of an errant punch
in their gaping maw.

Author's Note: Okay, so the real title is "Valley of the Balls". Oddly enough, the title was changed for the very same reason the poem was written...

Thought provoking reflection of our over (?)wired society.
