Mar 2013
Back away from the keyboard
Release your grasp in the mouse
Put your hands behind your head
Now slowly put down the cellphone
I said,
put down
the cellphone
Close facebook
Stumbleupon
Youtube
Shut it down
Back away
from the
Addicting
Consuming
Obsessive need
To be connected
To people
A thousand miles away
To know the details
Of a person’s life
When they don’t even
Know your name,
Unplug,
your mind
From the cyber world
Save your words
From A slow death
In
the comment section
Disconnect
From the internet
And Connect
Connect to real people
Who live next door
Or go to the community center
Volunteer
Play with your children
Pretend you are a child again
For in this world
It really doesn’t matter
How many “friends”
You have on facebook
How many videos you watched
Or how many likes your post got
So disconnect
And connect
