Emotion.
Reaction.
Connection.
All of it heightened.
Blazing with immediacy,
and without substance.
Without empathy.
Further emboldened
by the weapons
we carry
Everyday.
In our pockets,
and
in our faces.
They dictate our reality
For clout.
For money.
For that extra hit of
Dopamine.
Unable to
reason,
to feel
Or critically
think.
Somehow we’ve
managed to
separate,
disconnect
and lose our values,
ourselves,
And each other.
