Unhuman heart beat

 

The beginning of technology was great for all humanity

The sense of stopping was insanity

Later the years the worse it became

The power stream starts to devour me

As if I was drowning in a sea of machinery

 

My parents stare at the technology

Not caring about reality

All I do is oversee

The dangers of our family

My parents don’t have time for me

They’re not what they used to be

My siblings don’t look at me

They’ve lost their human qualities

But what I say about them

Reflects back on myself

 

I miss the old me

The one roaring with energy

Not conceiting to the certain DING on my accessories

I also miss my family

Missing when my brother used to smile at me

Or when my sister used to laugh alongside me

Missing when my parents had a heart beat

Instead of a strange BEEP when I hugged them oh so tightly

Hoping that their last bit of humanity was still attached

Wishing this was all a dream so I wouldn’t have to go back

To virtual reality
