Snippets of existence
Through a manifest of pixels.
We carry in our hands
The power to project
A vague portrait.
We show “Life”.
For creatures who crave purpose,
We want a removal from it.
Back then,
If we truly desire something,
We’d have to journey for it.
And now,
With swipes and clicks,
We press to it.
It renders efforts
Effortless.
Connection or Attention?
Growth is always encouraged.
But how much is “too much”?
Did technology flourish
As flowers do?
Or is it a blight of weeds
Opposing our personal bloom?
Have we evolved
To consume with our eyes?
Do we hunger for nourishment
Or thirst for attention?

Entertainment or Addiction?
We’ve stepped far in advancement
By the tap of a button,
We can let the world know
What we want to show.
But have we ever asked “why”?
For yourself or the digital Divine?
Who is truly in control?
You?
Or what you hold?
