Isaac Pizarro Poet Couplet

Our Digital Masters

Let’s be real about our situations
And let’s review our modern limitations.
We used to meet people and read books
Now we just meet screens and read nooks.

From the age of liberation to suppression
We try to fit into the new obsession.
We are no longer in control of our own
Without tweeting about it using our phone.

We are not free from our new masters
Even if we created these modern disasters.
We click buttons to make a “friend”
Whilst looking for more time to spend.

There is no imagination, just an empty mind.
There are no new inventions, just new versions to find.
What ever happened to riding your bike?
It got replaced with hitting that “Like”.

And so, it begins. Off to work with your life in the cloud.
You look at your friends list; 500+ so proud.
Come back home; watch screens and instead of chapters.
Say hello to our new digital masters.
