in our future

our hands have adapted to our environment

replaced with contraptions, buttons and bells

our eyes are now

only screens, and our minds are dead the moment we are deemed alive

they were selling memories for millions and emotions at half price

no one knows each other and eventually we stopped naming our children

because what was the point?

after all

they are only a username and password

twitter controlled our actions, facebook pages our memories and instagram filtered our image

until we became unrecognisable...

even to ourselves

our words are no longer meaningful...

only abbreviated syllables

our hands...

they are incapable of holding one another

it is impossible for hearts to beat because our blood stream was microchipped with the poison of disposition

we can't love...

we can only "like"

like posts, pictures, comments...

but never ourselves

So...

why are you still staring at this screen?

go tell your lover

you love them

because

maybe one day

you'll wake up

and they'll be gone

traded for a tweet

"liked" instead of loved.
