How are we behind the screens?
This modern age all we do is tap,
Tap, swipe, click and send
Technology controls us
Anyday, everyday
What’s the weather?
Who died
How do I do this.
It is devoid of emotion
Imagination
Ingenuity
Look outside, see the rain
Why ask technology when you
Can see for yourself?
Everyone dies
Why care unless they matter
To you.
Why ask your screen
Experiment, explore
Technology has its own world
It’s like a lens over ours
It shows and reflects what’s real
But it’s not as good as the real thing
This lens can lie
It can warp and shift
Technology can show us the world
From our room
But can you breath in the air?
Blink in the lights?
Hear the sounds of freedom?
Technology....it’s a trap
It tantalises us with things
Things we never knew
Sparking curiosity
But, the curiosity never follows
It’s answered immediately
The trap is after the curiosity
Is sated
You don’t want to leave
You make the screen your home
Followers, friends,
It traps you
To not knowing the difference
You are the wolf
Curiosity is a hunger
Technology’s answers
Are bait
The apps are traps
You thought you were the wolf
Strong, smart and wise
You were just a bunny
If I were you I’d run from the screens
If you don’t stop soon
They’ll haunt your dreams
