Electronic Civilization and Its Discontents

 

 

Electronically  plugged in life

Connected with invisible wires

Millions of fake connections

While surfing for true one  

Happily connected and being together   

While unhappily not being together

Connected but isolated

Attached but feels helpless

Who said ; No man is an island

Electronically separated in tiny islands

Live in a plugged universe

Being alone together

Falling in love with an online avatar  

Facing each other mechanically

But hiding from each other

Walking towards an unknown destiny

Eradicating the human touch

Eliminating  human relationships

Establishing robotic empathy

Lost souls in a cyber world

Expecting more from technology

Expecting less from each other

Becoming more and more isolated

Anyway I Share, Therefore I Am
