Modern Life -- a poetic tale of disconnection.

- Modern Life -

In this day and age- 

People have access to what they need;

Sort of.

People connect; 

Sort of.

People fall in love; 

Sort of.

If you live in a city, 

you really need no one.

Why?

Because you have everyone;

Sort of.

You are never stranded;

there is a bus.

You are never hungry;

there are shops and restaurants.

 You have community; 

Sort of.

It may be conditional, but if you do as as they say;

play their games; 

don't challenge them too much;

don't question their actions, motives, or sanity;

You may have friends for life.

Be normal-

Follow-

Hope that what you are following actually serves you.
If it doesn't?

Keep following anyway,

because it's better than being alone;

because doing anything else is too scary.

Doing anything else will piss people off

Don't rock that boat.

Don't cause drama

Curl up into your shell, where it is safe.

Die there, unnoticed.

Much safer, that way.
