about

I saw the best minds of my generation
lost beneath a sea of blue thumbs
kept those whose views we agree with corralled
behind bars of zeroes and ones
Now in our second lives we’re free
lonely gods in our own reality
(but we can) never erase our histories
Do you belong to a community?
Or do you live life behind a screen?
Do you believe in a community?
An impossible fantasy
Do you long for a community?
Mind blank and walls pristine
Do you believe in a community?
Share if you agree
In our comfort zones
the only sound is the echo of our own voice(s)
Blue light burns in our dark cells
We shut ourselves off by choice

Social media is often posited as - at worst - a double edged sword, or even an empowering technology, but (ripping off Zygmunt Bauman who’s quoted in the lyrics) I’m worried it’s an increasingly isolating force. One that - by design - leads to petty tribalism, resentment and feelings of inadequacy.
