Who Is My Neighbour
In this technological age
We don't trust easily
We take our own sweet time to guage
Our neighbors icily
But if we get a friend request
On Facebook, Instagram
We accept it without protest
What a pretensive sham!
Gone are the days when we would help
A fellow in distress
Now we click pictures while he yelps
In pain and dire duress
Where has our humanity gone?
Our sense of friendly trust?
Who will help us if we're withdrawn?
Values, we must adjust.
