I hate social media

I hate social media

A Poem by Itumeleng Molokomme

I hate social media.
They steal away from creativity
Have you ever felt the intimacy of a well written later
Felt the connection from a simple phone call
Bringing that loved one within reach
But we are consumed in meaningless back and forth messaging that are dry of emotion
No tone but a simple emoticon to try wrap all your feelings
One word answers that kill the spirit of communication
Communication has become so easy yet so difficult
Our tongues cut off, fingers glues to the keypads and touch screens
Around the dinner table our heads bowed
We are not saying grace but instagraming our meals
Facebook has become a daily personal journal
We can no longer celebrate life without tweeting
We have become preys of our own creations
I hate social media

Great points...I dislike social media, as well, with the exception of my Writers Cafe account. :)
