Why do I speak? Spoken words silenced, My human voice no longer heard. Verbal communication obsolete! Replaced by this small device Whose buttons I now push To spell out my thoughts and words To deliver my now digital voice Emotions sent and received Via bits and bytes Through the cyber space Of our now wireless existence Uploading and downloading our virtual desires And deleting our unwanted emotions Like a no longer used file. Our need for physical human interaction Sent with a click straight to the recycle bin And then quickly emptied as not to be reminded Of the reality of our own betrayal
