May 2016
they look but can't see
What's in front of you or in front of me
rantalized by a tiny screen
Dubbed the attention Sapper known as technology
A decline in communication and people skills
Conversations through texts and giggles
A virtual wall, phone in the middle
Socially awkward meet ups and and time to ****
It's crazy how we have all this time to chill
We refuse to acknowledge and say we're alone
When we are always connected by Internet and phones
Just remember those friends who reach out to try and keep you around
Maybe next time they offer a hand it won't be like litter tossed in the ground
Because a friend to all is a friend to none
Some of us don't have any friends or even just one
So if a stranger were to come out of the blue
Just remember how it started between Me and you  
New to each other's world with everything to hide
Nervous and full of stress
In today's world it could all change with a simple friend request
This world isn't anti social just foreign to the norm
