Disconnected

A Ramble on the State of the World

Disconnected

There are no real connections anymore

We communicate only through screens

Never saying much to anyone in person

A society plagued with social anxiety

Face to face encounters cause that tightness in your chest

Human interaction has become the hardest thing for us to do

We as humans are connected by WiFi

Our internet connection isn’t even physical anymore

Maybe this is also why loyalty has fallen out of fashion

Everyone seemingly only cares about themselves

Because they keep themselves so disconnected from the world

Other people’s feelings don’t matter

Because we don’t deal with other people’s feelings anyway

Presently

Catching feelings is bad

Like disease bad

Like Ebola bad

We can’t open our hearts to individuals

But we’re expected to open our hearts to the world?
