A Sleepwalking Dream

Life seems surreal, a sleepwalking dream; caught in an alternate reality. And at times, you question your sanity; sandwiched between hype and hyperbole. Lies grind you down till you're insensitive to the pain and suffering of others. And you don't speak out with indignation, for babies, pried from the arms of mothers. The internet offers a disconnect, where individualism gets erased. And replacing feelings with emojis, it is easier to copy and paste. Humanity has digitized its heart, yet technology can't Bluetooth that part.

Your poem speaks to modern society almost willfully programming an easy callousness into itself. It's a concern that I share, but I couldn't have worded it as pointedly as you have here. Very well written.
