The desire to remain connected, with friends of past,
Morphed into being validated, by a network that's vast.
Made us Zombies who share mindlessly, in return for comments or likes,
We made Facebook our natural home, ignoring the depression and anxiety hikes.
The desire to know better, our children and the Gen Y,
Made us experiment and be curious, they were on this platform why?
Sharing photos of food and selfies, scrolling through stories and reels,
We tried to get a hang of Insta, not caring how lonely, it for most folks feels.
The desire to be there for them, our parents, long lost uncles and aunts,
Made us bear with all those forwards - the power that 1-click share grants,
The good mornings, the lame jokes, the political vitriol and diatribes,
We got onto the WhatsApp bandwagon, not minding the poisoning of our tribes.
Enough is enough, I'm transitioning, from WhatsApp via Telegram to Signal
Either mind your ways, or prepare for divorce, our relationship likely to annul.
