Connect

Text a message
And instant message
Reaching out
Just to connect

No one online
And voicemail kicks in
Text goes unresponded
And not a soul on IM
Feeling lonely
Just want to connect

Writing to the blogosphere
Hoping for responses
Days pass without comments
And you become despondent
Because you just want to connect

These devices man erected
Just to stay connected
And yet, the people take their lives every day
The loneliness is too much
All is left as an eery hush
The click click of the keyboard

Nothing "real" to live for
Waiting to get an earful
But we are still not able to connect
Drowning in the silence
We cannot hear
Cannot feel
The rush of You around us

Heartbeat is audible in my ears
And the blood rushes to my head
Trying to connect
And cannot
Some wish for death

Man and technology
A generation's regret
All the tools before us
And yet to the Source
We still cannot connect

He died
And resurrected
Yet...
The oldest form of communication
Knee to floor
Floor to face
We forget
And therefore
Cannot connect
