A Little Poem, If You Want To Call It That

So I wrote this and posted it on Twitter some time last year, but I think with everyone walking around playing PokemonGO it is relevant now more than ever. I just started typing and this is what came out, it rhymes so I guess it's a poem...

Book bags and styro-foam trays, those were the days.

Life was as simple as pie and as easy as the wind is breezy.

Making friends and developing crushes. Getting kisses and blushing and nobody was rushing.

But now we live in a world that doesn’t stop and it never sleeps,

we are all connected but all so distant.

We walk around with our faces embedded in the messages on our phones, faces lit up not by Sun,

But by the brightness of our screens.

It’s crazy, technology is hurting us in the same way it makes us better.

I bet you can’t even remember the last time you wrote a letter, a simple hand written letter.

Instead we type emails, iMessages, BMMs, SMS it’s a mess.

Your guess is as good as mine if this is forever or just stormy weather and things will get better.

And I’m the worst hypocrite of them all, typing this message to you from my cell phone.

A vicious cycle.
