Price Of Technology

The sun came flying down into the city.
The hazy, red world it created was so beautiful
The noisy voices of people passing by 

distort inside my eardrums, like a blockbuster hit!

Wishing to be revelent...in an irrelevant, disconnected world,

I'm addicted to peering down from above, like a ghost-

I am still trying to make out my own silhouette!
Y'know, within those eyes that wished for a tragedy,
I'm searching for a place to return to.

In a city full of limitations, I'm seeking for something to believe in.

I want to have a conversation using real words...

with our real voices... 
If someone is listening, please respond!
The sun climbed high in the sky.
The world began to glimmer but appeared monochrome.
As if being sucked into a repetitive cycle, 

no matter how much I struggle, there's still no way out today!

People walking through the city are all so expressionless,

when in fact they're really so full of distortion.

If they could just break that shell they're keeping up

and let it all out at once... 
On the other side of those cold smiling eyes

just what were you trying to grasp?
Amid pages filled with nonsense, I yell, wearing my true face.

If you have something to say, show yourself!
Not just on a screen-raise your voice!

Unable to sacrifice each moment, each sound,

I want to live, burning this life bright!
So let's seek it out...with our five senses,

the kind of pain and joy that makes precious tears overflow-

the feeling...the force...of being able to say, "I'm alive."

I loved this...You wrote it really beautifully and I must say this is one of your best poems that you wrote..I totally agree with you...Actually today the situation is that instead of Man controlling machines , machines are controlling man..Actually I remember one statement of my favourite south korean actor Gong Yoo , who even in this days don't use social media , he says that social media makes you feel even more lonelier..In fact , even I myself use only writerscafe..In this world , where people are addicted to facebook and instagram , I don't have my account on any one of them...I loved your poem and the way you expressed it was just brilliant..I especially liked that image saying Live Seoul Like I Do..You expressed yourself brilliantly in this poem..
Keep it up and well done..
Keep on writing...

Deep, dramatic and haunting words. That echo inside a heart. To communicate with each other as humans. And not via a world filled with screens, push buttons. Flashing lights and face staring constantly at them day in and day out.
