quote from GLEN HANSARD, an Irish Musician:
The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distractions with Smart Phones and all the rest. People are so locked in to not being present.
Connection
So up to date and well informed
The media has our lives deformed
Tragic images in our brains
Constant coverage of things insane
Social media has us so engaged
We enter each other's lives page by page
Always there for all to see
The sadness or the victory
Phones attached to our own ears
Conversations pointless and insincere
Formed attachments to no one special
Bonds that would be inconsequential
Our lives have become an open book
Leave us dangling on an emotional hook
Technology rules our every thought
Silence and seclusion can't be bought
We are lost amid a crowded cloud
Constant interaction has burned me out
Newscasts keep me well informed
Is it sad I am no longer concerned?
