Teenagers are lost.
We have laptops
and phones
and TV’s.
But you see,
This is the problem.
We have lost our way
Due to technology.
Countless objects made to
Connect us,
Yet we all have this
Gaping
Black
Hole
That we hide
So well
Behind a glowing
Lit up screen.
Emoji’s have become
more common than
Smiles.
LOL has become
more familiar than
Laughter.
When will we realize
These things will not
Make us happy?
When personal connection
is what we seek,
Why do we crave
Having the latest model
When having a friend
is what we really need?
Society is lost.

When you walk into school, what do you see? There are countless numbers of people sitting next to each other looking at a glowing screen instead of interacting with each other. But it's not only at school. It's in your house, in the car, on a bus, in a restaraunt. It's everywhere.
