A Much Smaller Place
Our planet's a much smaller place today:
the internet connects us one-to-one.
And we can understand what others say,
for everyone can talk to anyone:
as all translations are instantly done.
We're now able to link with each other:
learn how we differ, and what goals we share.
Strangers become a sister or brother:
as we expound on love and voice despair,
sharing our cultures, so each is aware.
To keep track of what's happening in life:
we no longer rely upon the news.
And, to help protect endangered wildlife,
we now 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:
the net provides a platform where wounds mend
and innate similarities can blend.
