I Live
I…
I live in a world where the inanimate is animate,
The living are dead,
And reality is not real.
Electronics…
Computers, laptops, chromebooks, and now people.
How do they not see the tragedy?
It spread like a plague and as destiny foretold
It has taken over the world.
It has taken over schools, families, friends, and along with emotions..
The electronic devils take away who we are
By a lack of self or by greed beyond the imagination.
People once lived, laughed and loved,
Now faces are plastered with a cold smirk.
People used to speak
But now only hear
Never really listening.
People once played games with toys and their imagination.
Sports once gave a rush and a sense of joy,
Now… now they don’t.
I’ve heard schools were supposed to be a place of curiosity
However they exhausted the young brains
Leading the kids to playing online games.
Destruction.
Friends and Families were eliminated
People cared too much about superficial relations
Rather that the real deal.
Emotions followed quickly.
Advancements in technology the culprit.
Programming the brain..
Useless humanoids were discarded into alternate realities.
Others continued to live in the evils of the world
No sense of reality or self.
However the lucky few.
The daughter of the owner of the robotic humans for example
just happens to be me.
