There is a world
People aware
of surroundings
Acknowledging strangers
Discussing dreams
Altering attitudes
Preserving peace
There is a world
cared by all
No laws
No rules
No need for regulations
Overflowing
genuine reciprocity
There is a world
it could be ours
But our world
survived through screens
has this false mentality
the World Wide Web
is alive
It is simply a processor
nothing more
It will not take action
It will not clean the environment
It will not care for those in need
It will not heal a sick family member
It will not console you after a death
There is a world
it is ours
The online world
where people exist
never as their true selves
Fifty filters
altering appearances
Following
influencers
Facebook “friends”
Tapping twice
Clicking
Scrolling
Swiping
This is our world
our people
forever
logging in
and still
the greatest mystery of all…
teaching them
to log out.
