Social media.. boon or bane? It’s hard to say. At this present moment, it seems that the greater the tools to meet and greet our fellow humanity embraced in our chosen moments, conversely we are losing some of sense of family, community and togetherness. Maybe it’s always like this with the good and bad of it as humanity goes through and has gone through transitional periods? (This was supposed to be posted yesterday. I won’t name names but someone decided to spend time with someone else instead. Sorry but not sorry. I’d call time spent with her a bargain, the best I’ve ever had.)
Flickring Twitters of Instagram Moments by Michael Romani In our moments of time We capture what we see Both the practical and sublime The pieces are caught quite fragmentary Magical pieces of glass transform Instantly relaying bits that do inform All across the known universe Quicker than movies, slicker than verse Instagram moments transforming history And it has done so mostly quite visually Looking at what's new from Silicon Valley Has rewritten our world's code digitally Not that we have time enough to care But craft of this design is everywhere It's up to us to find the best user interface And then decide what we're willing to embrace In its use we find the worth of cost What should be added and what should be tossed Life has become a showcase of expression In a too busy world where so little leaves impression It's all about the building of relationship Whether it is love, friendship or worship All of this is a bit lifeless absent amalgamation That is, except for, the roots of our imagination (c) February 1, 2020 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
