Through our soft-lit screens
We enter a cyber world
Detached and lifeless,
In our incessant search for
Constant connectivity.
There is no escape
From the merciless clutches
Of technology;
We become mindless robots
Devoid of love and friendship.
These connections forged
With clicks and wires and networks
Cannot sustain us;
Happiness is only found
When we talk, touch, listen, live.
