We're not living.
We're all just dying a minute a time.

With every lavish dinner that we buy,
We're not trying to savour it.
Instead we build our Instagram profiles
one post at a time.

If I asked you right now,
What would you do if you were the last person alive on Earth?
You'd have no concrete answer to that.

Because once you'd get past that string of thoughts
where you want to ride the coolest cars,
or live in the craziest places
or try some deadly yet expendable weapons by yourself,
you'll be left blank.
Because nobody would be there to watch all your triumphs anymore.

That would be the moment when you'll realize
How less you've lived and how much you missed.
This write-up comes from an era where social media dominates over society.
We all are trying to build our virtual lives with all those components which we think are missing from our real lives.
I read a very good quote on this as well - Social media has such a huge impact on our lives and because of this we try to compare our behind the scenes with someone else's stage life (social media profile).

How I've gotten under their skin
They've never seen one like that
This is their nightmare
the stuff of wonder
Didn't imagine
they come
like this
one
Head and shoulders above all
impeachable and razor sharp
In no way like the rest
a true Prince, alright
drives them gaga
a nightmare
quality
the
real
deal
A thorn in their pale flesh
cheap weak we all know
liars, playing masters
He's a threat to them
they can't rest now
have to degrade
have to destroy
a prime black
not bowing
is enemy
number
one
Real Leaders do not stoop low
real leaders are always fair
real people don't steal and lie
real people are dignified
real people are intelligent
real people are benevolent
real people are not racists
real people are not cowards
real people do not feel threatened
by successful and decent black people
real people do not try discrediting others
Only racist ignorant idiots and their KKK masters
devout time and energy to pulling black people down
