I look around behind me
All I see are faces down
No one making a sound
Nor talking to one another
I believe I've discovered a black hole
into which society has fallen
Involved in endless apps
Only concerned with snaps
I look back to see if anyone still wants out of this place
I yell out but my voice fades among the millions of videos streaming
I hear souls screaming for interaction
But they are quickly muted by distraction after distraction
They can no longer see
Blinded by tweets, media, and TV screens
I call out one last time
as I walk forward towards the Light
Hoping others will follow behind
My mind begins to open to a new world
More of an old world rather
where people are gathered
creating memories with one another.
