Here is a poem I wrote earlier this year to show how our society uses technology to detach themselves from the real world.
Connected to Disconnect
My thumbs do all of the talking
I can’t remember the last time
I used my voice to give an opinion
My eyes are glued to the screen
Wanting more and getting less
Losing all connection to reality
My heart aches for a sense of belonging
In a world that is made up of pictures
Who am I trying to impress?
Power in my pocket
Phantom vibrations bring
short-lived jubilation
More time is spent staring
without making any eye contact
I connect in order to disconnect
with my problems
Writing In The Deep
