Smart Generation

 


Cannot load page,

been down for an age.

Watching that circle spin

endlessly 

around and around again,

like a washing machine gone awry.

I think my circuits have fried.

The blinking lights on the router,

telling lies, 

I just want to use my computer,

but the internet just hides.

Is this too much to ask?

Too complex a task?

My brain is bored

and I need to open tabs

to get a fix for this addiction.

 

Oh no, the signals dropped,

Has the outside world also stopped?

How will I see

what people are doing

with their lives,

how many likes

must their dinner plates

have been deprived?

Cannot load page.

Is this how it all ends?

Maybe the bombs have gone off

and we just haven't

received the news,

the mushroom cloud

in the distance,

offering us no clues.

 

How quickly we reached

a point in time,

where if those lights flash wrong

it all feels like the end of the line.

Nothing is working.

because the Wi-Fi is shirking

it's responsibility

So now the world

is closed off, nothing here to see,

just boarded up windows,

for sale sign on the lawn.

No one can hear our cries

No one to speak to.

Now it's just us here,

the smart generation.

Not looking so smart now,

I say as I stifle a yawn.
