Fast food Fast cars Fast girls Fast world Fast paced Shoes laced Heightened heart rate Don't be late Sweat beading your being Aren't you tired? Your soul's taking a beating Tweeting instead of reading Face booking instead of looking up Have you forgotten how to breathe? Involuntary actions* now include refreshing your news feed The best years of our lives wasted on the internet Reblogging pictures that reflect our interests Hoping the next follower is our next best friend What happened to human interaction? We're all connected by a single thread Let's take a stand and realize this now instead of on our death beds Look up Look out Look in Lose doubts Lose sin Lose shame Open your eyes Forget the game autonomic functions

I read this at my school's poetry slam. I have horrible stage fright and closed minded peers to appease. I'm happy I actually went through with it.
