(Satirical piece)

As time goes on, as it changes

People will always evolve

They will always evolve

Always change

Having social bonds, making friends

Online ones

We don’t talk to or get to be around

Lacking true connections

Being more together, more close

Finding more common ground

In how people can’t find it nowadays

Always fighting over something

How we are using more of our brains

Thinking much more often

Making sure we use constant info

That always randomly show up

That looks TOTALLY reliable

Thanks, perfect internet

Using our brains and time

Distracting ourselves

Mindlessly, for who knows how long

Hours, months, even years

Our environments always change

More trash, more waste

More bad fog, more destruction

Wasting resources all the time

How we feel also really changes

Feeling more pressured

To please, to impress, to compare

Feeling quite all over the place

More stressed, more angry,

more lazy, more whiny

Less emphatic, more confused

More turbulent, more timid

And as we change as time goes

As technology gets better

We do things differently in life

With how much we do

For we do pretty much nothing

Just sitting idly by

Watching life, letting time go on by

Just stuck

Stuck in ignorance and laziness

Like me!

Because after finishing this poem

I’ll simply

Simply just mindlessly consume online

Wasting time, just like everyone else

Wow! Look at how far we have come

Think about how it’ll be years later
