The cord wrapped around my finger,

Stretched out on the kitchen floor,

That’s how it used to be done.

Communication between two people.

 

Now, we Tweet, Face, Snap, Chat, and Text.

In groups of three or more, a conversation so big

The message is lost and people are faceless

Communication between technology.

 

Face to face, we smile and joke, shake hands

With strangers, hug our friends and family.

Looking in someone’s eyes, you bite your tongue,

Communication between two people.

 

Behind the screen, we punch, slap and shame.

Make fun of strangers and lie about family.

The little picture in the corner becomes who we are

Communication between technology.

 

As the world becomes smaller, it becomes larger.

part of any group I wish, even if I don’t belong.

Share any thought in my head, true or false

In this Communication fail.

 

Communication
