We are living in an apocalypse

We walk in underground tunnels;

Trundling along tubes of steel;

Lit up by artificial fluorescence;

Packed tightly with cells of a greater whole:

Society!

Yet each ensconced in their own reality;

Consciousness contained through the magic of mobiles;

Thoughts silenced by auditory drugs;

Mode of delivery: earphones;

No one looks at each other;

No one even bothers;

Connected yet disconnected.

We are living in an apocalypse;

And we don't even know it.
