Human Connection

A poem of loss and rebuilding.

What happens when we lose our human connection?

Cast aside by capitalism’s blind indiscretion.

We’ve already crossed over the technological intersection,

As we stare into the black mirrors of our own reflections.

Our climate, she burns, yet we decide profits over people

Displacing communities, refugees seen as unequal

At its core, our system is built on a foundation of exploitation

Yet is that really how we want to think of our own human creations?

Human bonds bring us together, allow for peace and understanding

We share stories, cultures, and instill a sense of caring

About a world bigger than ourselves, one outside of a screen

Where our actions are more impactful than for just you and me.

It’s time we rebuild our human connections,

Our sense of community to reestablish a direction

In which we as no more than humans can live as a collection.
