We’ve never been so connected
and yet we fail to communicate.

We have a lab test with pages of
results, telling us nothing of how we feel.

Caller ID provides our names,
but not who we are.

Polls and surveys ask our opinions,
and yet, leaders fail to understand us.

We have everything delivered
to our door, but there is always more.

AI is anticipating our wants,
but does it know our needs?

We’ve never had such information
at our fingers and yet so little wisdom.

Entertainment always at our beckoning,
may allow creativity to fade.

Are we leaning forward,
while appreciating the past?

Let us pray we not lose our humanity
and creativity in all this modernity.
