Why is it so rare to think
That this is just a symptom of decay?
Of the fabric of our lives
What makes our society
We’ve disconnected from friends
From our loved ones and families
More concerned with strangers and the false connections
Seems misdirected
One day when this all collapses
When signal towers lay in waste
When the screens go blank
You’ll look around for community
Where is it now?
For tangible connections you gave up long ago
The ones that were right in front of you
The ones you really know
When you reach out
Who will be there?
Who can you rely on?
Who really cares?
Seems like we’re getting closer to the day
When these technologies are just a distant memory
What will we have in the end?
These are just distractions from real communities
Communities that look out for each other
Dig deep plant roots
Create a real network of friends
