#4 - The Disconnect

Do you think our relationships are strengthened or weakened by the rise of the internet and social media?

Oh sweet connection of the fastest kind

Downloading information in the shortest of time

Of things consequential, my computer doesn’t know

Of things unimportant, on the monitor it’ll glow

You light up my face as I open each file

But of meaningful moments, I’m in denial

For the brightness comes from an artificial light

And it confuses my heart on humanities plight

There are so many places on the web to surf

So much to read that is of little to no worth
