What has the world come to?
Why do we act like we do?
Who even are you?
When did we meet?
Where did we meet?
How did we meet?
Social media is where and how.
It's controlling us all.
None of us could survive an hour without it,
Let alone a whole day.
Let's take a trip.
A trip to 1973.
The first phone was invented.
But all you can do is make calls.
Now to 1992.
The smartphone invention happened.
Now take a look, at that versus now.
There's seven year olds with phones,
They never play outside,
They'd rather stay inside
Playing on their phone.
The world is at our fingertips yes,
But instead we choose to use them,
As a way of entertainment, to hide from family, and to bully.
How many kids today can tell you
When their friend's birthday is?
Oh but wait, how many had to check
Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat?
Everyone today freaks when talk about
Creating robots is a thing.
But why should we create them,
And why do people freak?
The world's already full of them,
Wake up, stay on phone all day, sleep, and then repeat.
It's an unending pattern that is only getting worse.
