Blue Screen Lives
We sit in deathly silence.
Necks craned.
No one dares make a sound.
Hands swiping,
Up and down,
Left and right.
Our ears are always covered,
Or muffed,
Or occupied.
There is a ghostly feeling.
We’re here, but not really here.
We hide behind our blue screen lives.
Fingers fly, forming our social time.
What a lie.
Meanwhile...
Your world, your life, your soul passes you by.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
