Time
A burden becomes a bond
With four neglected words, but
“Can I help you ma’am/sir”
Were lost in this fast paced world
We don’t take the time to ask because
We don’t want to imply that they can’t do it on their own
Ipod, ipad, imac, iphone
I, I, I, spend so much time on me
I don’t have time for you or a “we”
We measure our worth by our followers on twitter
Or the number of likes we get on an instagram picture
All while ignoring the ones who matter
Although who has time for others when
we spend it all on finding more?
Isn’t that what technology was made for?
To save us time? It was. (dramatic pause)
But with the time that we freed
Our hearts were filled with greed
Our desire for convenience never satisfied
Because There’s no ceiling and no floor-
no line drawn for technology
Opening door after door after door
Not for someone else, but for our convenience,
to save the time we waste away
On hollow devices day by day
Round and round and round we go
When it stops... nobody knows each other.
