LOOK UP

I was reading a blog (www.stupendousgrace.com) and I saw this post that was majorly a poem written and performed by Gary Turk. It really struck me and so I decided to share the video link and the poem lyrics with you guys. Enjoy and Thank me later.

Lyrics:

“I have 422 friends, yet I am lonely.

I speak to all of them everyday, yet none of them really know me.

The problem I have sits in the spaces between, looking into their eyes, or at a name on a screen.

I took a step back, and opened my eyes,

I looked around, and then realised that this media we call social, is anything but

when we open our computers, and it’s our doors we shut.

All this technology we have, it’s just an illusion, of community, companionship, a sense of inclusion

yet when you step away from this device of delusion,

you awaken to see, a world of confusion.
