I wish that someday,
People will raise their heads,
From their phone screens,
And look up at the fleeting blue sky.
And just marvel at it.
With their eyes.
Not through their instagrams,
Not through their camera lens,
Not through the reflection on their screen.
I wish people would just free themselves,
From social media.
The impulsive need to be on the now,
The relentless need to stalk someone or something.
I wish people would just live for a second,
Without being bowed to a device
That clearly controls
Every aspect of their freedom.
