Whisper

Where is true conversation? Have we lost privacy to the past?
We no longer talk with intimacy for our feelings must be broadcast.
We pay homage to the social media gods for the increased connectivity.
They render us empty. Speaking hollow words has become our proclivity.

If we do not post our very essence online, is it just a figment of our imagination?
As we lose the personal touch, I wonder what will become of our civilisation?
Our social circles grow exponentially, whilst our inner circles tighten with a deathly grip.
Have we become slaves to public opinion? Has social media become the whip?

Time to rid ourselves of our electronic masters and speak frankly to the soul.
Drop the bravado and the pretence of a perfect life, start to tell our story whole.
Wealth is not measured by monetary value for time is our currency so invest it well.
Because in a world of white noise, maybe it is better to whisper than to yell.
