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,
conjoining cultures so each is aware.
To find out what is 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.
