here we are
the Facebooked
community of billions
raving and raging
loving and hating
heating and cooling
until the next headline
sends boiling
up through the pot
the waves upon waves
of words
are we awake?
or are we blinking
at the whited screen
with the friends and followers
blinking back
are we an act?
can you look your brother
in the eye anymore...
your sister on the side
of the road
when we preach humanity
who
are we excluding
see, I hear it well
echoing through the mountains
of cyberspace
that we are going to love
all
but when I pass by strangers
with faces glued to phones...
myself included...
where are our smiles
at our common neighbor?
the love shared as a react
to the post,
will that love be found
offline?
will we be found
offline
to be the warriors for love
we share to be?
I see
in you and in me
powerful love
being amplified
in this time
if all the waves
and the worldwideweb
vanished underneath us
how would we act?
if the
digital platform
erased
on what ground would we
be standing?
powerful love
amplified
through socialized
media
is beautiful
modern art
to behold
but
come time to act
come time to choose
come time to BE
come time...
