Connection

We all stopped looking to the sky. Unable to look in our own mind's eye. So caught in all the distraction, We make ourselves unable to imagine. You make your T.V. remote more important than the song you wrote. You look at the clock to check the time, But then Netflix says "No you are mine." But why? I would rather die, Than to stop myself from living, From the media making a killing. Giving you all their propaganda, In their new episode of Hannah Montana. We use our cellphones to connect, But are more separate last time I checked. Kids at the age of six, On their phones like they're on rocket ships. Waiting for the new Call of Duty 6. Now throw Xbox One in the mix. How can you not care? That your kid does not scare, When he sees a guy with a gun, And a victim unable to run. This kid is blind! From the media taking over his mind. But I digress, Technology is a mess. Expanding our universe but limiting our minds, To the people we were before we spoke lines. Family dinners are now family Words with Friends winners. Unable to have a conversation without a phone for liberation. We are trapped! In a world made for progress in fact. Then why doesn't Congress just act? For the place where society does lack... Connection. We are all connected but you don't see, Because technology has taken your liberty. Taken your sight from out of your mind, And put it on the IPhone 5 production line. We all have something in common, Something we can't share in a com-link. We are human! And as a matter of fact, Humanity on it's own does not lack. We the people have the power, To travel across the globe in just hours. So please don't misunderstand, Technology is good in one hand. But in the other we need to be free, So we can be connected in liberty.
