A Quizzical Look

When I look around, I see sadness,
everyone seems so serious,
as if they've forgotten how to smile.
I don't see happiness
amongst those frowning faces;
and I haven't seen it for a while.
Strangers choose to remain strangers;
for friendliness evokes suspicion,
and receives a quizzical look.
There was a time when
folks greeted each other warmly;
and a friendly hand, offered, got shook.
Nowadays, emotions are expressed with emojis;
and, since feelings can be stored on a cloud,
far fewer friends talk or embrace today.
Humanity's caught in a world wide web,
spun by a technological spider;
and reality struggles to keep AI at bay.
