‘We are all connected’
This has come to mean completely different things
In the last fifty years, or wait, not even
Maybe twenty, or ten
Difficult to say
The sense of time is so warped
Now that we are all connected
When she is standing by a bridge
There is a picture of her
That everyone has seen
Everyone talks about the deep look in her eyes
And they all smile
Because they are all connected
And no one knows that she wonders
If she should jump
They are popping champagnes
And the sound is reaching out
Across the globe
The dresses are impeccable
As well as the smiles
And no one has the time to see if they reach the eyes
There is one loud cheer
Because they are all connected
And he has no one paying enough attention
To whom he can voice the doubts he still has
They all look triumphant
Like everything got figured out
And it’s no more cool to have doubts
Or voice fears or to not smile
Just look like everything is a jolly jolly time
Still sometimes in moments you see
That nobody’s got anything figured out
But it’s not a done thing to talk about that too much
Because you see, such things are dangerous
Possibly contagious
And who can afford that
Now that we are all connected
The templates are pre-approved
The actions
And the reactions
Life, experiences, expressions
That is the glue that binds us
Now that we are all connected
