InterNOT

Just a poem about the power of technology

The leaves could change but nobody would know

Their eyes remain fixated on that movie or show

No one takes the time to shake each other's hand

A friend request is the same, don't you understand?

We are trapped in a world that is all so virtual

Unaware as time becomes full circle

Is love at first sight the same on the screen?

Can you fall in love with a person with a computer in between?

We thrive with the idea of popularity

And that is defined by Instagram likes or Twitter followers apparently

We invest so much time and passion and devotion

To a world where the thing to lack is emotion

We are all victims under the rule of technology

Yet live in a place defined by democracy

No need to speak when we can just type

When the answers to all questions are there with a swipe

Children no longer know how to play

It isn't on an App, but now that's the way

Endless hours are not spent at the park

But in a room with a TV or computer in the dark

We try to fit in by being the same

How much longer until we have the same name?

The phones will get smarter and we will get dumber

But we are more than an icon and phone number

It's not too late to fix what has been done

The battle's not over, technology has not won

Just put down your phone and walk away

And when you see someone, don't type, but say "hey"

This is so true!! I really believe that people should get back to simplicity and enjoy the beauty that each other gives and enjoy the beauty of nature. Technology is a very deceptive thing, that takes complete control and we miss the most important things of life, until we realize at the end of life, all that we strove for, all the material possessions that we obtained means nothing. Its the love of others in our lives that count. For that is all we will have when we exit this life. Awesome right, thanks for sharing.
