Community, do you remember that
Our rapidly changing world, has stripped community from behind our backs

Technology connects us across the globe
But sometimes isolates us within our own minds, at home

Our smartphones and social media promise connection
Yet they often leave us feeling more disconnected in a lonely direction

Scrolling through endless feeds, we witness snippets of other's lives
But rarely experience the depth of genuine connection that true community gives for us to thrive.

A paradox lies in our ability to connect globally 
While feeling ever isolated locally

Remember the neighbourhood street where children once played 
Adults chatted on door steps, and families gave

These shared spaces are dwindling
We live our lives in a box 
Work, home, school, the gym
Then on the TV and internet, we get locked

We may have family, friends, and colleagues
Yet a void still persists 
This void signals that our human nature seeks deeper connections
More then exits

Feeling lost and lonely isn’t always dramatic
It’s often a quiet desperation
An ache in the heart
A longing for something more magic

Individualism has its merits, but it overshadows our sense of belonging
We lose sight of the collective good and prioritize personal success over communities well being

Community thrives when we contribute selflessly
Acts of kindness, a smile, say hello, fearlessly

Reclaim those lost parks
Organize community events 
Foster a sense of belonging where everyone feels welcome inside the community tent

Community isn’t just about talking 
It’s about listening as well
To the meaningful conversations from elders, and children 
To the wisdom and knowledge in the human realm

Transform our isolation into community 
Our longing into belonging 
Get to know who lives around you again
Make time and slow down the coming and going

Switch off your phone and go outside 
Sit in the park and no longer hide

Let us reconnect, and build bridges across the gaps 
Re build our communities, so we can feel again the support behind our backs

It starts with you 
It starts with me
If we all did this today
We would have a community
