When Life Was Slower

I miss when life was slower.

When people took the time of day
and just enjoyed life.
When people sat down
and ate food together.
Watched TV together even.
When people sat down
and read the latest newspaper
to see
what was going on
around them.
Now people are in a rush
to get that latest
selfie in,
and take fifty selfies
a day to find
that one good selfie.

Now it's all
click, click, click,
scroll, scroll, scroll,
I gotta be
the first one
on this
new trend!
I gotta
check my phone
first thing
when I wake up!
I gotta be
the first one
to talk about
this news story
on social media!

Rush!
Rush!
Rush!
Rush!
I'm not saying
I want to go back
to the dial up days,
but I do miss
when life was
about taking time
for yourself.
If you're not
on social media
and take time
for yourself,
 people judge you.
If you're not
rushing to your phone
when you wake up,
 people see you
as weird.

Phones are a blessing
sure,
the internet is a blessing
sure,
but with information
so easily accessible
at your finger tips,
people forget
to live life.

So, in 2021
I'm going to spend
less time in
front of screens,
and
live my life
instead.
