Disconnection.
The world's best friend.
The gadget of the future.
The one and only trend.
Social thought is but a memory
Of our forefathers,
But not an idea that crosses the bright screen
We call social.
Pretty pictures stream past,
Our rivers are flooded,
Not with water,
But
Pixels.
Our minds wander,
But not with ideas or knowledge.
Instead,
With words and phrases
That make no sense
In the life of reality.
LOL is not a word,
A phrase,
Or a saying.
The demise of a culture that cannot even
Comprehend
Or mend the deficits that we have.
The lack of noise.
The lack of culture.
The lack of true laughter.
The greatest gift
Is not the one that materializes on a computer screen,
But the one that holds our hearts in a way that technology
Could never do.
I want the world to look back,
Sitting in the present,
Seeing the future.
What I wish,
Truly,
Is that we
Laugh
Out
Loud.
