We text, we emoji, we like
But we do not talk
You shout in crowds into a mini metal box
We never see each other in person
But we follow each other everywhere

When we are together we are chatting to others on our devices
We document our existence
Snap every step of the day
A life in pixel pictures

Gather, congregate, communicate
Chat face to face, please
Time is short
I do not want a tweet or a voice mail
I do not want a like
I want you, live and here

We are loosing our humanity to technology

Communicate

We text, we emoji, we like
But we do not talk
You shout in crowds into a mini metal box
We never see each other in person
But we follow each other everywhere

When we are together we are chatting to others on our devices
We document our existence
Snap every step of the day
A life in pixel pictures

Gather, congregate, communicate
Chat face to face, please
Time is short
I do not want a tweet or a voice mail
I do not want a like
I want you, live and here

We are loosing our humanity to technology
