Welcome! To my virtual bubble;
This special place I’ve worked hard to create.
It’s free from all pain and trouble!
I sit, I scroll, I click, I sift, new reality I replicate!
High-Definition-Photo-Shop-double,
A slick profile, the Me I want to be; a duplicate.
Perfection that hides all the stubble,
Of the imperfect me, and allows me to insulate,
From all suffering outside Me bubble!
Ingenious, I’m sure you agree?
Welcome! But beware! Don’t say what I won’t hear!
I will block you, disengage, and ignore!
I will start scrolling, searching, find what I will hear!
Validate my opinion, make me feel more…
Sure of world created in my image; to isolate fear;
This bubble I digitally painted as reality tore,
Became too much to handle so, now find me here;
Denying all sorrow, ignoring a bloody war!
Suspending the truth, in chosen ignorance sheer!
I see you’ve done the same?
My bubble pops! Outside-in! Reality is over-ride!
One pop and crash then another pop and another!
Giant bam virtual crash! We run but we can’t hide!
From sin or sorrow or ignore blood of our brother!
Virtual images of gods tossing nature’s God aside?
Will delete! When flood-gates open and smother,
In consequences, those who truth and sin denied!
Splendor of virtual isolation lost…
Enter that world of feel and touch!
Experience truth’s painful cost..
Hugs, sun, love! We missed so much!
A cool bubble you have here.

In our virtual world its so easy to be isolated from things and sometimes from things that matter or things we should know about. Good poem, I really like it

Thank you, Jim. Denial is a coping strategy that can turn to delusion when relied upon too heavily. The way we are using technology is turning us into a delusional society. Reality hurts but better to accept the pain so, we can also, enjoy the good than to create individual fantasy worlds. We all need to think about what we’re doing.

Thank you but as I wrote this a line from an old song kept running through my head, “it would be so nice to see your face at my door”. Bubbles can be beautiful but real-life connection is vital.

Extremely so. We all need real-time, face-to-face connection.

Ya know….sometimes I wish I could go back in time to the late 1800’s in a time period before “Like” buttons and emoji’s.

Yeah, me too. I’m more of a turn of the twentieth century person though. I’m just not impressed with the 21st century. I think as a society ‘we took a wrong turn at Albuquerque’.:0/
