Disconnected
Our time
My time
Redirected
Armchair warriors
Couch potatoes
Over worrier's
Stir tornadoes
Ride the storm
And chase the thaw
Maintain the course
With no applause
Snakepit, firepit
Backyard parties
Take what you get
All in, zombies
Vicious path
Venomous vipers
Do the math
With half the fighters
Give and take
And pay back double
The noise you make
Just stirs up trouble
Try to rest
But can't sit still
Be my guest
With time to kill
Ain't no time for hesitation
Play the cards
Deal with frustrations
Put down the phone
And cut the lines
Now you're all alone
With no ties to bind

We need a return to the gold old days. Less time online,
Why we still need to put the devices down now and go outside even just to breathe. The world of online is the world of today.
Oof, what a mic drop at the end. Loved it!
Wonderfully & creatively told, Kelli. My mind, heart & soul danced through every bit of this.
That is powerfully said. Great job. 👍🤗
