Technology an average person would have in today's society.
Got to have that newer model every year.
With pages of apps to fill a library.
Thousands of notifications from the latest updates.
Every second of everyday surfing the web for countless hours.
A part of your soul tethered to a piece of metal.
Useless when it has no power and worse without Wi-fi.
Taking our ability to socialize in public like humans.
Having a conversation not over a screen miles away.
Being caught in the riptide of social media.
Drama being started over the littlest thing.
It will ruin your life, so what's the next move?
Take a break from the other side of your social life.
Disconnect and nature is waiting on you.

Author's Notes: I rediscovered my 1980's poetry magnets box and in it were two poems I find compelling. I recall having challenged myself to create two poems using the same set of words. These two poem are what spilled out. Which one resonates more with you, version A or B? Leave it in Comments. I'd love to know your thoughts!
