Communication is Dead!!!

"Communication is dead!!!"

Screamed the human beings

"What kind of communication are you talking about?"

Eye contact?

Hand gestures?

Body language?

Iris dilation?

Constipation noises?

People moving their mouths?

"Yeah that"

Oh, that's rich coming from you

.

Conversations will never die

Some people are surfaced-level

Out for coffee and lunch

Some are in moments of heart ache

Strings of sentences from the heart

Conversations can be diverse

Ocean-level deep discussions

Philosophized or emotional

As long as we can think on our own

There are more than 7 billion people

They will never go away

.

The mentors of the past stare

They have created the tech

Yet complain about it

"Twitter this, Facebook that"

As they use internet platforms

(I mean you're reading my poem right now)

They have the option to sustain usage

They can easily shut off monitors

Just touch some grass

Literally wave to your neighbors

That is communication

.

Though the internet is hell

Yes, people need to touch grass

People are oddly self-hating

The popular are put on a pedestal

Some opinions aren't liked

People yell at each other

The world feels like it is ending

.

And yet, the World was always like this

Social circles of the past must have been hell

People segregated by age, race and orientation

People were out of touch

Delusional romances and standards

People have always been attention seeking

Stirring up rumors' or fights

Some "opinions" justified abuse

Some "opinions" wanted you dead unfortunately

Mean popular kids usually were at the top

Facades of rich people in commoners clothes

Scream matches were always a thing

Of divorcing parents in the 70's

The World had always been plagued by tragedy

No matter what year

Technology isn't the core issue

It is merely bad people

.

The internet has projected the bad

No need to look for it though

The internet has good

Platforms for those in need

Art to share with peers

This very website

Online educational information

Therapy for those in need

Forums of comfort

The list goes on

.

If you truly are worried about the bad

Block. Be safe. Be smart.

Start the conversations

Spread messages of authentic love

We don't want to see your partners

We want to see you try

See the good of the internet

Don't be in the crowds of the hateful

.

Don't complain about the internet

Your birth year is showing
