They say the world is a global village…
But each day, lives are subjected to an invisible cage….
The last time the phone beeped….
A sudden rush of excitement flowed,like a fainting person given oxygen….
A world trying to present a form of counterfeit perfection…
Filling minds with illusions and causing depression…
A blessing turned curse…
The ‘like’ button becomes the source of happiness…
Comments and tweets are as food and water…
Our young ones are now jellyfishes…
Relying on the signals in the air..
They become depressed as they see others portray perfection …
They compare themselves to others …
Hating themselves and not loving others either….
And the cycles goes on and on…
The needle continues to prick that same spot….
And the more they try to pull it, the more it digs in….
Unbearable addictions ….
Where are those times we experienced the real world out there….
We have suddenly chosen to exist and not live…
The phones are getting smarter…
The people are getting duller…
The next time you feel like you would not survive without that like button…
Speak to yourself…
Say it and mean it…
“I am more than a number of likes “.
“I will not let my joy be sucked up by feigned perfection. “
“I am me! “.
