Tech

Entwined in a technological opiate
Our mind is softened, hesitates
A screen offers release and escape
You never have to leave it again
You just plug it in, not click it off
It is with you every single day
Remember to mute when you cough
Everyone needs to remember, too
No tech high rush will ever be true
Emotional starvation, stagnation
Electronic feeds and crystal display
Lithium batteries clear forests away
Nothing's without cost, but now?
We lose our way with distractions
Lost your phone? just leave it lost
It will be one healthy reaction
To a world that flees intimacy
Thinking as if you've found love
You have, but with a machine
All of the AI, LED screen,
And of course the tracking
You never have to worry again
Your lover knows everything
Including how you dream
