I remember when conversations happened face to face I look around witnessing what has become n untouched disgrace Person after person nose first into a device that's connected Am I the only one speaking the turmoil that has truly erected Why is everyone condoning habits that are completely destroying interaction Is it because it is cool or just your unknown desired selfish satisfaction selfish satisfaction I mean so called acceptance of your piers Looking to post something unordinary like that will erase your fears People read each post on FB like every one of them is true But in the end they are just posts to gain the attention of YOU People are not so happy believe me they suffer as deep They post what they feel others will read even if the lie is steep I miss people calling you over asking for advice Now they watch to calculate how many LIKES they receive on their device How many friends do I have how many cool pictures for them to view If you call 100 of those online friends maybe one would know what to do Only one would respond because only one truly cares Only one will drop their own needs to wipe your tears Popularity is now a plateau in our social networking society People have made IG, TWEETS and facebook their top priority Why read about others lives when you have enough to adjust Simply because popularity and acceptance is just a selfish must Selfies, status change, new pics have taken the front seat Sending them out in the web being viewed by someone you didn't even meet Anyone can type what you want to hear instead of what needs to be said Because not just anyone is a friend people have become your critic instead I have 0 friends on FB, never IG and I only share life with who is closer 75% of those on the networks I label as a new age posers Everyone wants attention that's the stem of the problem at hand I hope they like me, I hope they accept me, I think I like who I am Stop allowing devices N social networks to dictate how U project your feelings inside Put the phone down give your loved one a hug now that instills pride Say hi to their face don't post a simple hello and wait for responses in your mail just admit there is an issue of epidemic proportion or we will truly fail So please try some way to spread the words I've chosen to write Say no to social networking destruction join the new found fight I hope all ends well no matter how you choose to view my opinions I just hope for a world where people are not digitally connected minions
