How Shallow Have We Become
I wrote this when my WiFi died on me one night. Shameful!
how shallow have we become
back in magical days, nights;
learned more about us,
felt our hearts’ longings and cries,
heard all our thoughts,
understood our deeds — both good and bad,
inspired our tomorrows.
now,
nights are abandoned;
they have simply become time that must
cosmically come by because it is its job,
they’re even terrified to disturb us,
they stay silent,
they keep meaningful memories of the past
—
while we’re becoming more obsessed with noise,
losing our souls to machines,
building a dystopian world —
destroying our divine gifts
destroying each other
how shallow have we become
how shallow have we become
