Just Another Like

Social media--It corrupts us.
We went from playing hop scotch by the playground
To sitting down on our phones, laptops, tablets.
Waiting for another like ,
Another friend request from a person you don't know.
Another shoutout, share.
Follower.
In this world where phone calls
Are no longer common.
Much less a face to face confrontation
Now we shoot a text , chirp and tweet
Suddenly our communication skills
Dissipated.
Perfect grammar extinct .
We've become a product of destruction.
Do it for the snap, the DMs , the chats.
This behavior is deeply embedded in us.
We need not to become technology based individuals.
Making friends, having romance
Became to easy.
Just a click And you're in !
You've got mail .


I wrote this as inspiration to one of my friend's drawings. The way social media this generation is getting the best of us and how we are losing touch with personal connections with reality.
