In a world of social media our lives are being guided and controlled by market forces, in a way the human mind has become a prisoner. Our attention the greatest commodity. We feel mildly connected or are we really unable to form long-lasting & meaningful relationships anymore?

Listen to poem:
Walk with Me
I made my way
Through the darkened streets
Past the hungry hearts
Where the enemy eats
I browsed through glass
At my dear old friends
Where their silent smiles
Replace love that mends
And I somehow feel
Like I'm missing out
Like there's something wrong
Like I want to shout
Your lips don't move
But I see your thoughts
Like you are crying out
For a hug, of sorts
We need hands to hold
We need hugs to give
Take the red pill now
While there's time to live..
And I wonder how
It has come to this
We have each replaced
True connection bliss
With a pocket world
That controls us all..
Making us feel large
While we shrink to small
So my prayer is this;
Stop us going under.
Wake our hearts, dear Lord,
From this walking slumber.
