"Kind words are short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." -Mother Teresa


Technology is good
Technology is great
But it takes over our world.
Soon there will be no more reading
And no more greetings
Only more greedy
But technology is good
Technology is great
It only matters
Who gets the best rate
Making more and more hate
And the inability to communicate
Humans will soon have no humanity
Only technology
But technology is good
Technology is great
It is our new era.
So welcome to our world
That thinks and speaks like robots
All they know is touch and send
With auto-correct
And a book full of  abbreviations
But wait
I forgot to mention
That technology is good
Technology is great
Because soon this paper I write on
Will be gone
But I’m asking you now
To put down your screens
Turn off your phones
Look someone in the eye
And say
Hello
It might not be fun
It will not be easy
But it is a start to the way
To bring our anti-social society
Back to its former glory
But yes,
Of course
Technology is good
Technology is great
You go ahead and say that
When all of our world is made up of hate
So please be human
Before it’s too late
Because the world is ticking down
To its very last beat of humanity
But technology is good
It sure is great
Remember that when
Our world is just
Hate.

Just from looking around, I notice how many people can't seem to put their phone away or look up from their phone. I think that it is also simply strange that a piece of equipment that is designed to keep us in touch with others, only makes us lose touch with others.
