Sonnet 044
Laijon Liu 20160329
Thoughts trapped in the brain, all our thoughts
The very fabric of our being incarcerated in flesh
Emails, sextings, video chats in this internet age
Yet, I am still lonely, all of us still lonely
I hate smart phones and social networks
They are more of a distraction than connection
Billions accounts interact, trillions twitts update
We all live in a distance, converse in a distance
How I wish my family and friends sit beside me
Share simple dishes and sour wine around table
Talk about food price and dark matter, curse politicians
Together live in a real life, in a real communion
Those good times are long gone
Now everyone is on his own road
