Technology

Technology.

The one thing meant to uplift society

Is the one thing dragging it down

We get detached from our emotions

And attached to our screens

We say we will only watch one more episode of the tv

4 hours later you say the same thing again

Pretending that the voice inside your head

Telling you to get some sleep is dead

We hide behind technology

We get broken down by rumors that spread like wildfire

And we feel like flames swallow us up in pain

After trolls on the internet make up fake stories

Just to see others burn down in flames

And some people’s lives comes to a tragic end

All because they could not handle

What people believed they said

They were too detached to ask for help

Too detached to beg

In today's world it's easier than ever

To turn off our cameras and mute our microphones

To remove ourselves from the world

To put out the fire surrounding us

We have been born into a generation

That technology is present more than ever

Anywhere we go

Babies are born into technology

Tubes attached to them just so they get fed

They grow up to be a child that can't live without their ipad

Without burning up in a flame

They are the same children that when they grow up

Hiding behind their screens

Disabling there cameras just to remove all form of human interaction

Removing themselves from all social feeds.

I am that baby

I have become more comfortable with hearing a disembodied voices

Than forming a human interaction.

I allow to hear the voice of god without seeing his face

Ripping all forms of social and human interaction and throwing it out the door

This world is a edging closer to a full technological society

And soon we will all be like this

One day we will all become this baby if we are not already

And one day the world will not understand what human interaction is.
