A Much Smaller Place
Our planet's a much smaller place today;
the internet connects us one to one.
And we understand what each has to say;
everyone can converse with anyone,
foreign translations are instantly done.
We're now able to link with each other;
learn how we differ and what goals we share.
Calling strangers my sister or brother;
we expound on love and voice our despair,
sharing our cultures so each is aware.
To inform us what's happening in life,
we no longer rely upon the news.
And to protect our endangered wildlife;
we share global environmental views,
posting pictures of what the world may lose.
The internet changed how we interact;
social media stands in for a friend.
And, as we distinguish fake news from fact,
it provides a platform where wounds can mend;
and innate similarities can blend.
