We’re guilty
It’s filthy
How robotic
Hypnotic
Glazed over optics
With our hands on devices
Never think twice
Let it define our lives
This technology
Superficiality
Now losing the ability
To think rationally
Let it sum up identity
How we hang onto likes
Swipe left and right
It’s how we now measure
Looking at the
Followers
Friends
Views
Well, here’s the good news !
Whether we have one or have many
Doesn’t have any
Real proof or meaning
I dare us to take a day
Put it away
Get out of the cave
Of this social media age
actually have conversation
Where we sit face to face
Guarantee that phone can’t ever replace
The feeling of being present
In real time and place
Let’s grace each other with ourselves day to day
Without scrolling
Trolling
Doling out likes
Wouldn’t that be nice ?
