Why is everybody so lonely?*
Reaching out online for someone to understand
But can they hold your hand?
Like I can
Give you a hug with the up most sincerity?
Like me
Can you really recreate that intimacy
Without physical Reciprocity
Or is it all just fantasy?
And yeah maybe
One day you'll meet
But will it just be a novelty
Once you Wipe away the allure of anonymity
Where you can disappear or project with ease
Cause were you even there in the first place
Did you really want to be seen?
And I ask myself
Why is everybody so lonely?
Dismissing all around them with ease
Too afraid to speak
Keeping those in reality at proxy
Serving what need?
The right to anonymity
Cause I don't think you really wanna be seen
True Bonds are too risky
Rather shun that responsibility
In case they leave
Or you want to.
And you wonder
Why everybody is so lonely
When Social interaction has become so empty
People with an inability to truly listen or speak
Cause they're too busy
Heads bowed down to mobile technology
World wide web retreat
Was my guy Jamiroquai right!
Is the Future made of Virtual insanity?
Cause if we're all so connected
Then why is everybody so lonely?
**Cause they choose to be.

In my humble opinion I really don't think that you can beat face to face interaction, I believe that there's something lost when we become detached from this. Its a worry of mine that this fundamental of being a social being is rapidly becoming lost. Social media can be an incredibly anti social phenomenon. I don't know about anyone else but I strive to stay truly connected to those and that around me, anything less in my eyes is a disservice and quite frankly isolating territory.
