Here’s a little poem I wrote a couple weeks ago while deep in thought about today’s world. What a wild ride this year alone has been. I find myself caught up in my emotions and feels a lot as I try to navigate this new atmosphere.
What I’ve realized about mankind during this struggle is that modern loneliness is kind of crazy. We have so many resources and humans just a couple clicks away and yet, we still despair. Why?

The cure to modern loneliness
Has deadly consequences
Digital connection at our fingertips
Doesn’t stifle the fire of our loneliness
Burning in the depths of some
Deep dark place we’ve all tried to hide
Filling our veins, numbing the pain
We don’t know how to come down
A Victim mentality that isn’t really
A circumstance of our current situation
But a history beyond our years
Filled with anxiety and fears
We never learned what to do with tears
And so we search for answers elsewhere
We look for solutions at the bottom of a bottle
We look for solutions in the avoidance of reality
We look for solutions at the end of a barrel
We look for solutions in the problems
….and in the end…. we perish
Spread the ashes and move on
They didn’t really have to die
But we watch them die daily
We see ourselves in their reflection
Then break the mirror and walk away
It wasn’t supposed to be THIS way
All around us nothing but Decay
Our hopes and dreams we Betray
Because we can’t see farther than just Today
The cure to modern loneliness
Isn’t much of a cure at all
It’s Darwinism erasing the weak
Leaving behind not a legacy
But a chasm
That keeps getting bigger
Do we keep throwing bodies down
In hopes their sacrifice will soften our fall
That somehow the hole will become full
If we justify the human sacrifice
Label the human
Addict, Mentally ill, Criminal, Shrew
Whatever Helps you sleep at night
Or forget their life mattered too
Or do we devise a new plan
To close the hole
not in the earth
But within ourselves
The truth of it all is….
You are the cure to modern loneliness
It begins IN YOU
And it starts today!
