Why do I speak?
Spoken words silenced,
My human voice no longer heard.
Verbal communication obsolete!
Replaced by this small device
Whose buttons I now push
To spell out my thoughts and words
To deliver my now digital voice.
Emotions sent and received
Via bits and bytes
Through the cyber space
of our now wireless existence.
Uploading and downloading our virtual desires
And deleting our unwanted emotions
Like a no longer used program.
Our need for physical human interaction
Sent with a click straight to the recycle bin
And then quickly emptied as not to be reminded
Of the reality of our own betrayal…….
