The Social Lone & The Lone Elite

Don't you realize how slowly, steadily 
They are turning you all into antisocial, lonely beings?
In the name of making you "social" online!

In crowded streets and sold out movie shows
You'd think everyone cherished the company of others
But lo! You are groomed to be friends with the puppetmasters only!
They are stealthily robbing you all of the ability to crave human company.

A time is coming when you shall surely be alone no more,
Surrounded by unceasing notifications and friend requests
Some directly delivered into your brain's lounge!
Amidst eternally prying cameras and sensors 
Every miniscule detail of your life broadcasted live
But with the most unnerving, heaviest loneliness 
Eating away at your heart and soul
With none but algorithms and pathetic peer slaves in your circles.



But, there shall be a few 
Probably near-extinct minds
Seated somewhere or walking for walking's own sake
Observing, studying, meditating, practicing and
Living the perfect social life - 
Alone physically, but connected to all creation
In total control of their space and time
The monks, the sages, the elite of your near future.

To the wise,
Choose your lone with care
Seek true solitude, 
And you shall discover a mysteriously perfect social life.
